ACI-ASTM CA6NM Steel vs. ACI-ASTM CC50 Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CA6NM steel and ACI-ASTM CC50 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the heat treated (HT) condition. They have 84% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 27 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 ACI-ASTM CA6NM steel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CC50 steel.
