AWS E383 vs. ASTM A182 Grade F3VCb

Both AWS E383 and ASTM A182 grade F3VCb 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 AWS E383 and the bottom bar is ASTM A182 grade F3VCb.
