Full-hard ASTM F15 vs. Full-hard N08800 Stainless Steel
Both full-hard ASTM F15 and full-hard N08800 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the full-hard temper. They have 75% of their average alloy composition in common. 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 full-hard ASTM F15 and the bottom bar is full-hard N08800 stainless steel.
