AWS E383 vs. ASTM A387 Grade 22 Steel

Both AWS E383 and ASTM A387 grade 22 steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 38% 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 (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS E383 and the bottom bar is ASTM A387 grade 22 steel.
