R30556 Alloy vs. ASTM A372 Grade C Steel

Both R30556 alloy and ASTM A372 grade C steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. 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 R30556 alloy and the bottom bar is ASTM A372 grade C steel.
