ASTM A356 Grade 2 vs. EN 1.8507 Steel

Both ASTM A356 grade 2 and EN 1.8507 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 98% of their average alloy composition in common. 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 ASTM A356 grade 2 and the bottom bar is EN 1.8507 steel.
