ASTM A387 Grade 22L Class 1 vs. SAE-AISI 9255 Steel

Both ASTM A387 grade 22L class 1 and SAE-AISI 9255 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 31 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A387 grade 22L class 1 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI 9255 steel.
