EN 1.4857 Stainless Steel vs. Grade FDSiCr Steel

Both EN 1.4857 stainless steel and grade FDSiCr 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 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4857 stainless steel and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCr steel.
