ASTM Grade LCC Steel vs. ASTM Grade HI Steel

Both ASTM grade LCC steel and ASTM grade HI steel are iron alloys. They have 54% 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 LCC steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HI steel.
