PA 4/6 vs. AISI 384 Stainless Steel
PA 4/6 and AISI 384 stainless steel belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. PA 4/6 is a polymeric material, while AISI 384 stainless steel is a metal. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 3 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (31, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is PA 4/6 and the bottom bar is AISI 384 stainless steel.
