EN 1.6957 Steel vs. ASTM Grade LCB Steel

Both EN 1.6957 steel and ASTM grade LCB steel are iron alloys. They have a moderately high 94% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.6957 steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LCB steel.
