ASTM Grade HE Steel vs. Grade 350 Maraging Steel

Both ASTM grade HE steel and grade 350 maraging steel are iron alloys. They have 70% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HE steel and the bottom bar is grade 350 maraging steel.
