Type 2 Magnetic Alloy vs. ACI-ASTM CA6N Steel

Both Type 2 magnetic alloy and ACI-ASTM CA6N steel are iron alloys. They have 58% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is Type 2 magnetic alloy and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CA6N steel.
