ASTM Grade HP Steel vs. Grade VDSiCr Steel

Both ASTM grade HP steel and grade VDSiCr steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 39% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

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