ASTM A514 Steel vs. Type 1 Magnetic Alloy

Both ASTM A514 steel and Type 1 magnetic alloy are iron alloys. 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 A514 steel and the bottom bar is Type 1 magnetic alloy.
