Annealed ASTM B685 Alloy vs. Annealed 300 Maraging Steel
Annealed ASTM B685 alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while annealed 300 maraging steel belongs to the iron alloys. There are 17 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 B685 alloy and the bottom bar is annealed 300 maraging steel.
