EN 1.0446 Cast Steel vs. Grade FDSiCr Steel

Both EN 1.0446 cast steel and grade FDSiCr steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.0446 cast steel and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCr steel.
