Annealed AISI 304L vs. Annealed SAE-AISI M10

Both annealed AISI 304L and annealed SAE-AISI M10 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 74% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (13, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed AISI 304L and the bottom bar is annealed SAE-AISI M10.
