EN 1.7225 Steel vs. N08031 Stainless Steel

Both EN 1.7225 steel and N08031 stainless steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 35% 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 1.7225 steel and the bottom bar is N08031 stainless steel.
