ASTM Grade HN Steel vs. Grade 250 Maraging Steel

Both ASTM grade HN steel and grade 250 maraging steel are iron alloys. They have 70% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 21 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HN steel and the bottom bar is grade 250 maraging steel.
