AISI 409 Stainless Steel vs. ASTM B631 Class A

AISI 409 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while ASTM B631 class A belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 16 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (17, 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 B631 class A.
