ASTM Grade LCB Steel vs. ASTM A182 Grade F24

Both ASTM grade LCB steel and ASTM A182 grade F24 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the normalized and tempered condition. They have a very high 96% 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 grade LCB steel and the bottom bar is ASTM A182 grade F24.
