ASTM Grade LC9 Steel vs. EN 1.6511 Steel

Both ASTM grade LC9 steel and EN 1.6511 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the quenched and tempered condition. They have a moderately high 92% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade LC9 steel and the bottom bar is EN 1.6511 steel.
