Cold Finished N08020 Stainless Steel vs. Cold Rolled EN 1.4371
Both cold finished N08020 stainless steel and cold rolled EN 1.4371 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the cold worked (strain hardened) condition. They have 60% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 32 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is cold finished N08020 stainless steel and the bottom bar is cold rolled EN 1.4371.
