EN 1.6750 Steel vs. ASTM Grade LC9 Steel

Both EN 1.6750 steel and ASTM grade LC9 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the quenched and tempered condition. They have a moderately high 92% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.6750 steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LC9 steel.
