Cold Drawn SAE-AISI 1137 vs. Cold Finished SAE-AISI 8645

Both cold drawn SAE-AISI 1137 and cold finished SAE-AISI 8645 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the cold worked (strain hardened) condition. They have a very high 98% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 31 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is cold drawn SAE-AISI 1137 and the bottom bar is cold finished SAE-AISI 8645.
