SAE-AISI 1060 Steel vs. Grade FDSiCr Steel

Both SAE-AISI 1060 steel and grade FDSiCr steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 98% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI 1060 steel and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCr steel.
