Annealed AISI 440B vs. Annealed SAE-AISI H13
Both annealed AISI 440B and annealed SAE-AISI H13 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 88% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed AISI 440B and the bottom bar is annealed SAE-AISI H13.
