ASTM A387 Grade 21L Class 1 vs. EN 1.4713 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM A387 grade 21L class 1 and EN 1.4713 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a moderately 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 (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A387 grade 21L class 1 and the bottom bar is EN 1.4713 stainless steel.
