ASTM A372 Grade K Steel vs. EN 1.0644 Steel

Both ASTM A372 grade K steel and EN 1.0644 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the quenched and tempered condition. They have a very high 96% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 31 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A372 grade K steel and the bottom bar is EN 1.0644 steel.
