ASTM Grade LC2-1 Steel vs. SAE-AISI H13 Steel

Both ASTM grade LC2-1 steel and SAE-AISI H13 steel are iron alloys. They have a moderately high 93% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 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 LC2-1 steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI H13 steel.
