EN 1.3558 Steel vs. N08028 Stainless Steel

Both EN 1.3558 steel and N08028 stainless 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 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.3558 steel and the bottom bar is N08028 stainless steel.
