AISI 409 Stainless Steel vs. AISI 420F Stainless Steel

Both AISI 409 stainless steel and AISI 420F stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 32 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 409 stainless steel and the bottom bar is AISI 420F stainless steel.
