Type 1 Magnetic Alloy vs. ASTM A732 Cast Steel

Both Type 1 magnetic alloy and ASTM A732 cast steel are iron alloys. There are 25 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 Type 1 magnetic alloy and the bottom bar is ASTM A732 cast steel.
