    There is a difference between making comparisons based on technical criteria versus closest match criteria when evaluating steel standards. While compiling data for a book, it was difficult to decide whether to include data based on a technically comparative or closest match basis as both approaches have benefits and limitations. Strict technical comparisons provide more accurate results but limit the number of comparable steels, while closest match comparisons consider more steels but risk widening the technical criteria used for evaluation.

    "Comparative" and "Closest Match"

    There is also a difference between "comparative" and "closest match" when evaluating steel
    standards. While gathering the data for this book, it was difficult to decide whether to include data
    on a technically comparative basis or on a closest match basis as both have their merits and
    limitations.
    For instance, a technically comparative group of steels can assist the user with making a material
    selection based on technical merit. However, this may severely limit the number of steels that would
    be comparable. On the other hand, displaying the closest match data will usually increase the
    number of comparative steels for the user to consider, but at the risk of widening the technical
    comparison criteria. Likewise, a strict technical comparison will give more accurate results, but a
    closest match comparison will provide more data to assist the user in searching for similar steels
