EN 1.4000 Stainless Steel vs. ASTM Grade LCC Steel

Both EN 1.4000 stainless steel and ASTM grade LCC steel are iron alloys. They have 87% 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 EN 1.4000 stainless steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LCC steel.
