EN 1.3532 +H Steel vs. Hardened AISI 422
Both EN 1.3532 +H steel and hardened AISI 422 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the hardened (H) condition. They have 87% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 26 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 1.3532 +H steel and the bottom bar is hardened AISI 422.
