ASTM B631 Class A vs. SAE-AISI M43 Steel
ASTM B631 class A belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while SAE-AISI M43 steel belongs to the iron alloys. There are 14 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B631 class A and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI M43 steel.
