Annealed 200 Maraging Steel vs. Annealed SAE-AISI M6
Both annealed 200 maraging steel and annealed SAE-AISI M6 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 82% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 20 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 annealed 200 maraging steel and the bottom bar is annealed SAE-AISI M6.
