EN 1.4509 Stainless Steel vs. AISI 409 Stainless Steel

Both EN 1.4509 stainless steel and AISI 409 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a moderately high 92% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 32 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 1.4509 stainless steel and the bottom bar is AISI 409 stainless steel.
