AISI 415 Stainless Steel vs. ACI-ASTM CD3MWCuN Steel

Both AISI 415 stainless steel and ACI-ASTM CD3MWCuN steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the normalized and tempered condition. They have 80% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 31 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 415 stainless steel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CD3MWCuN steel.
