AWS E80C-W2 vs. AWS E33-31
Both AWS E80C-W2 and AWS E33-31 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the as-welded condition. They have a modest 33% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS E80C-W2 and the bottom bar is AWS E33-31.
