N08535 Stainless Steel vs. Grade VDC Steel

Both N08535 stainless steel and grade VDC steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 38% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is N08535 stainless steel and the bottom bar is grade VDC steel.
