AWS E320LR vs. Grade FDSiCr Steel

Both AWS E320LR and grade FDSiCr 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 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS E320LR and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCr steel.
