ASTM A356 Grade 10 vs. SAE-AISI 4037 Steel

Both ASTM A356 grade 10 and SAE-AISI 4037 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A356 grade 10 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI 4037 steel.
