ASTM A356 Grade 2 vs. EN 1.3537 Steel

Both ASTM A356 grade 2 and EN 1.3537 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 (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A356 grade 2 and the bottom bar is EN 1.3537 steel.
