ASTM Grade HI Steel vs. Grade FDSiCr Steel

Both ASTM grade HI steel and grade FDSiCr steel are iron alloys. They have 56% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 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 HI steel and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCr steel.
