ASTM A372 Grade L Steel vs. EN 1.3963 Alloy

Both ASTM A372 grade L steel and EN 1.3963 alloy are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the quenched and tempered condition. They have 65% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A372 grade L steel and the bottom bar is EN 1.3963 alloy.
