ASTM Grade HG10 MNN Steel vs. ASTM Grade HK Steel

Both ASTM grade HG10 MNN steel and ASTM grade HK steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 85% of their average alloy composition in common.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HG10 MNN steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HK steel.
