ASTM Grade LCB Steel vs. ACI-ASTM CD6MN Steel

Both ASTM grade LCB steel and ACI-ASTM CD6MN steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the normalized and tempered condition. They have 67% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 29 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 grade LCB steel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CD6MN steel.
