SAE-AISI 1132 Steel vs. Ductile Cast Iron

Both SAE-AISI 1132 steel and ductile cast iron are iron alloys. They have a moderately high 95% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI 1132 steel and the bottom bar is ductile cast iron.
