ASTM A369 Grade FP91 vs. ASTM Grade LC3 Steel

Both ASTM A369 grade FP91 and ASTM grade LC3 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the normalized and tempered condition. They have 90% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A369 grade FP91 and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LC3 steel.
