ASTM A372 Grade F Steel vs. SAE-AISI F1 Steel

Both ASTM A372 grade F steel and SAE-AISI F1 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 98% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A372 grade F steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI F1 steel.
