ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2 vs. EN 1.7378 Steel

Both ASTM A387 grade 91 class 2 and EN 1.7378 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the normalized and tempered condition. They have a moderately high 93% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 32 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 91 class 2 and the bottom bar is EN 1.7378 steel.
