AISI 304L Stainless Steel vs. ASTM Grade LCC Steel

Both AISI 304L stainless steel and ASTM grade LCC steel are iron alloys. They have 70% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 304L stainless steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LCC steel.
