Hot Finished AISI 321 vs. Hot Rolled EN 1.4640
Both hot finished AISI 321 and hot rolled EN 1.4640 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the hot worked condition. They have a very high 95% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 33 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is hot finished AISI 321 and the bottom bar is hot rolled EN 1.4640.
