ASTM A266 Carbon Steel vs. Grade 360 Molybdenum

ASTM A266 carbon steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade 360 molybdenum belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A266 carbon steel and the bottom bar is grade 360 molybdenum.
