Work Hardened ASTM B522 Class I vs. Work Hardened ASTM B522 Class II
Both work hardened ASTM B522 class I and work hardened ASTM B522 class II are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the cold worked (strain hardened) condition. Their average alloy composition is basically identical.
For each property being compared, the top bar is work hardened ASTM B522 class I and the bottom bar is work hardened ASTM B522 class II.
