EN 1.0303 Steel vs. EN 1.4865 Stainless Steel

Both EN 1.0303 steel and EN 1.4865 stainless steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 40% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.0303 steel and the bottom bar is EN 1.4865 stainless steel.
