ASTM Grade HK Steel vs. Grade FDCrV Steel

Both ASTM grade HK steel and grade FDCrV steel are iron alloys. They have 53% 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 HK steel and the bottom bar is grade FDCrV steel.
