Hardened AISI 414 vs. Hardened SAE-AISI D4
Both hardened AISI 414 and hardened SAE-AISI D4 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the hardened (H) condition. They have a very high 96% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is hardened AISI 414 and the bottom bar is hardened SAE-AISI D4.
