ACI-ASTM CG3M Steel vs. ASTM A356 Grade 10

Both ACI-ASTM CG3M steel and ASTM A356 grade 10 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the heat treated (HT) condition. They have 69% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 31 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 CG3M steel and the bottom bar is ASTM A356 grade 10.
