EN 1.6580 Steel vs. ASTM Grade LC1 Steel

Both EN 1.6580 steel and ASTM grade LC1 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 96% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.6580 steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LC1 steel.
