ASTM A387 Grade 22 Steel vs. N08028 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM A387 grade 22 steel and N08028 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 30 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 A387 grade 22 steel and the bottom bar is N08028 stainless steel.
