SAE-AISI 1086 Steel vs. Grade FDSiCrV Steel

Both SAE-AISI 1086 steel and grade FDSiCrV 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 1086 steel and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCrV steel.
