SAE-AISI S5 Steel vs. AWS E320

Both SAE-AISI S5 steel and AWS E320 are iron alloys. They have a modest 40% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI S5 steel and the bottom bar is AWS E320.
