ASTM A182 Grade F3VCb vs. AISI 434 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F3VCb and AISI 434 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 86% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 32 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 ASTM A182 grade F3VCb and the bottom bar is AISI 434 stainless steel.
