R30556 Alloy vs. ASTM A182 Grade F2
Both R30556 alloy and ASTM A182 grade F2 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a modest 32% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 31 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 R30556 alloy and the bottom bar is ASTM A182 grade F2.
