Hardened SAE-AISI A9 vs. Hardened SAE-AISI O1

Both hardened SAE-AISI A9 and hardened SAE-AISI O1 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the hardened (H) condition. They have a moderately high 91% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 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 hardened SAE-AISI A9 and the bottom bar is hardened SAE-AISI O1.
