ASTM Grade LCA Steel vs. AISI 414 Stainless Steel

Both ASTM grade LCA steel and AISI 414 stainless steel are iron alloys. They have 85% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade LCA steel and the bottom bar is AISI 414 stainless steel.
