ASTM A387 Grade 21L Class 1 vs. EN 1.0591 Cast Steel

Both ASTM A387 grade 21L class 1 and EN 1.0591 cast steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 95% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A387 grade 21L class 1 and the bottom bar is EN 1.0591 cast steel.
