AISI 430FSe Stainless Steel vs. ASTM Grade LCA Steel

Both AISI 430FSe stainless steel and ASTM grade LCA steel are iron alloys. They have 83% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 430FSe stainless steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LCA steel.
