Annealed ASTM B617 vs. Annealed SAE-AISI D7
Annealed ASTM B617 belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while annealed SAE-AISI D7 belongs to the iron alloys. There are 15 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (13, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed ASTM B617 and the bottom bar is annealed SAE-AISI D7.
