AISI 430F Stainless Steel vs. AISI 445 Stainless Steel

Both AISI 430F stainless steel and AISI 445 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a very high 96% 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 430F stainless steel and the bottom bar is AISI 445 stainless steel.
