ASTM Grade LCB Steel vs. SAE-AISI 1213 Steel
Both ASTM grade LCB steel and SAE-AISI 1213 steel are iron alloys. Their average alloy composition is basically identical. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade LCB steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI 1213 steel.
