EN 1.4587 Stainless Steel vs. EN 1.5418 Steel

Both EN 1.4587 stainless steel and EN 1.5418 steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 39% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4587 stainless steel and the bottom bar is EN 1.5418 steel.
