EN 1.4874 Stainless Steel vs. ASTM A182 Grade F12 Class 2
Both EN 1.4874 stainless steel and ASTM A182 grade F12 class 2 are iron alloys. They have a modest 34% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. 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 EN 1.4874 stainless steel and the bottom bar is ASTM A182 grade F12 class 2.
