ASTM A182 Grade F3V vs. AISI 446 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F3V and AISI 446 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 77% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 33 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 F3V and the bottom bar is AISI 446 stainless steel.
