EN 1.4971 Stainless Steel vs. SAE-AISI S7 Steel
Both EN 1.4971 stainless steel and SAE-AISI S7 steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4971 stainless steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI S7 steel.
