EN 1.8505 Steel vs. Grade VDSiCr Steel

Both EN 1.8505 steel and grade VDSiCr steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 98% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 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 1.8505 steel and the bottom bar is grade VDSiCr steel.
