AISI 317LM Stainless Steel vs. ASTM Grade HF Steel

Both AISI 317LM stainless steel and ASTM grade HF steel are iron alloys. They have a moderately high 90% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 32 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 317LM stainless steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HF steel.
