ASTM Grade HF Steel vs. EN 1.4837 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM grade HF steel and EN 1.4837 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have a moderately high 92% of their average alloy composition in common.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HF steel and the bottom bar is EN 1.4837 stainless steel.
