ASTM A369 Grade FP12 vs. ASTM Grade HP Steel
Both ASTM A369 grade FP12 and ASTM grade HP steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 38% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A369 grade FP12 and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HP steel.
