AISI 409 Stainless Steel vs. ASTM A387 Grade 22L Class 1

Both AISI 409 stainless steel and ASTM A387 grade 22L class 1 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a moderately high 90% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 31 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 409 stainless steel and the bottom bar is ASTM A387 grade 22L class 1.
