Grade VDSiCrV Steel vs. SAE-AISI S1 Steel

Both grade VDSiCrV steel and SAE-AISI S1 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 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 grade VDSiCrV steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI S1 steel.
