ASTM Grade LCC Steel vs. SAE-AISI 4130 Steel

Both ASTM grade LCC steel and SAE-AISI 4130 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 99% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade LCC steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI 4130 steel.
