AISI 348 Stainless Steel vs. ASTM A182 Grade F3V

Both AISI 348 stainless steel and ASTM A182 grade F3V are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 72% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 33 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 348 stainless steel and the bottom bar is ASTM A182 grade F3V.
