Type 2 Magnetic Alloy vs. ASTM Grade HL Steel
Both Type 2 magnetic alloy and ASTM grade HL steel are iron alloys. They have 68% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is Type 2 magnetic alloy and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HL steel.
