ASTM A369 Grade FP12 vs. Grade TDC Steel

Both ASTM A369 grade FP12 and grade TDC steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 99% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 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 A369 grade FP12 and the bottom bar is grade TDC steel.
