ASTM Grade HL Steel vs. SAE-AISI H13 Steel

Both ASTM grade HL steel and SAE-AISI H13 steel are iron alloys. They have 55% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HL steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI H13 steel.
