EN 1.3559 Steel vs. Grade FDSiCr Steel

Both EN 1.3559 steel and grade FDSiCr steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 99% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.3559 steel and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCr steel.
