AWS BAu-5 vs. EN 1.4841 Stainless Steel

AWS BAu-5 belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while EN 1.4841 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 21% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 15 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (19, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS BAu-5 and the bottom bar is EN 1.4841 stainless steel.
