ASTM A369 Grade FP9 vs. AISI 405 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM A369 grade FP9 and AISI 405 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a very high 95% 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 A369 grade FP9 and the bottom bar is AISI 405 stainless steel.
