ASTM Grade HF Steel vs. ASTM Grade HN Steel

Both ASTM grade HF steel and ASTM grade HN steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 84% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HF steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HN steel.
