ASTM A356 Grade 8 vs. Grade 200 Maraging Steel

Both ASTM A356 grade 8 and grade 200 maraging steel are iron alloys. They have 71% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A356 grade 8 and the bottom bar is grade 200 maraging steel.
