Grade TDC Steel vs. N08135 Stainless Steel

Both grade TDC steel and N08135 stainless steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (14, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade TDC steel and the bottom bar is N08135 stainless steel.
