ASTM A182 Grade F12 Class 2 vs. EN 1.4857 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F12 class 2 and EN 1.4857 stainless steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 39% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 31 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 ASTM A182 grade F12 class 2 and the bottom bar is EN 1.4857 stainless steel.
