ASTM A387 Grade 11 Class 1 vs. Annealed SAE-AISI M52
Both ASTM A387 grade 11 class 1 and annealed SAE-AISI M52 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 89% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 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 A387 grade 11 class 1 and the bottom bar is annealed SAE-AISI M52.
