SAE-AISI H42 Steel vs. ASTM Grade HT Steel

Both SAE-AISI H42 steel and ASTM grade HT steel are iron alloys. They have 50% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI H42 steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HT steel.
