ACI-ASTM CF3 Steel vs. ACI-ASTM CN7MS Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CF3 steel and ACI-ASTM CN7MS steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the heat treated (HT) condition. They have 80% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CF3 steel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CN7MS steel.
