ASTM A387 Grade 11 Class 1 Steel

ASTM A387 grade 11 class 1 is ASTM A387 grade 11 steel in the annealed condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare ASTM A387 grade 11 class 1 to: wrought alloy steels in the same category (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
