Cold Drawn SAE-AISI 1151 vs. Work Hardened ASTM B522 Class II
Cold drawn SAE-AISI 1151 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while work hardened ASTM B522 class II belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown. Please note that the two materials have significantly dissimilar densities. This means that additional care is required when interpreting the data, because some material properties are based on units of mass, while others are based on units of area or volume.
For each property being compared, the top bar is cold drawn SAE-AISI 1151 and the bottom bar is work hardened ASTM B522 class II.
