Annealed SAE-AISI F2 vs. Annealed SAE-AISI M2

Both annealed SAE-AISI F2 and annealed SAE-AISI M2 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 87% of their average alloy composition in common. 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 annealed SAE-AISI F2 and the bottom bar is annealed SAE-AISI M2.
