ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2 vs. SAE-AISI S1 Steel

Both ASTM A387 grade 91 class 2 and SAE-AISI S1 steel are iron alloys. They have a moderately high 92% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, 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 SAE-AISI S1 steel.
