ASTM Grade HN Steel vs. ASTM Grade HC Steel

Both ASTM grade HN steel and ASTM grade HC steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 76% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HN steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HC steel.
