ASTM A356 Grade 9 vs. ACI-ASTM CA28MWV Steel

Both ASTM A356 grade 9 and ACI-ASTM CA28MWV steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the heat treated (HT) condition. They have 87% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 32 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A356 grade 9 and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CA28MWV steel.
