ASTM Grade HC Steel vs. EN 1.4805 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM grade HC steel and EN 1.4805 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 76% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 29 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 grade HC steel and the bottom bar is EN 1.4805 stainless steel.
