ASTM A227 Spring Steel vs. Grade TDSiCrV Steel

Both ASTM A227 spring steel and grade TDSiCrV steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 98% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A227 spring steel and the bottom bar is grade TDSiCrV steel.
