R30556 Alloy vs. EN 1.3553 Steel

Both R30556 alloy and EN 1.3553 steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 40% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30556 alloy and the bottom bar is EN 1.3553 steel.
