ASTM Grade HF Steel vs. SAE-AISI S5 Steel

Both ASTM grade HF steel and SAE-AISI S5 steel are iron alloys. They have 70% 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 grade HF steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI S5 steel.
