ASTM A356 Grade 10 vs. SAE-AISI M52 Steel

Both ASTM A356 grade 10 and SAE-AISI M52 steel are iron alloys. They have a moderately high 91% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, 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 M52 steel.
