Hardened SAE-AISI M33 vs. Hardened SAE-AISI S7
Both hardened SAE-AISI M33 and hardened SAE-AISI S7 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the hardened (H) condition. They have 80% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is hardened SAE-AISI M33 and the bottom bar is hardened SAE-AISI S7.
