ASTM Grade HI Steel vs. EN 1.4855 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM grade HI steel and EN 1.4855 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 90% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HI steel and the bottom bar is EN 1.4855 stainless steel.
