You cannot have a general answer for this. The comparison in strength depends on the chemical composition or grade of each, as well as the heat treatment and quenching method each received.

Is steel stronger than aluminum?
It heavily depends on which type of stainless steel you're referring to and what your definition of strong is. High carbon and perhaps plain carbon steels would be harder then austenite and ferritic stainless, but martensitic stainless would be harder then plain/high carbon. Austenite and ferritic stainless would be tougher and austenite would have have highest degree of corrosion resistance. I consider a steel to be "strong" if it has a balance of hardness and toughness in which case,I would say martensitic stainless steels.
What metal alloy has over 300 ksi tensile strength?
high tensile stainless steel
Why is stainless steel more likely to suffer from distortion than carbon steels?
high thermal expansion
What is the type of steel in a steel blade of a steel handsaw and what is young modulus for this type of steel?
Steel handsaw, steel hacksaw and steel bandsaw blades are made from high speed steel. The most popular specification of steel used to produce these products is BS4659 BM2 commonly known as M2 high speed steel. M2 offers good wear resistance with excellent toughness after heat treatment.
Why are shear pins made from high carbon steel?
High carbon steel is stronger than low carbon steel with proper heat treatment. Thus, it will fail at a much higher load. ------------------------------------------------------------- Note: not all shear pins are high carbon heat treated steel. The pin needs to be nearly as strong, but not stronger than the material in which it is used, so that it shears off before the material it protects is damaged. thus a shear pin for a bronze shaft may actually be made of copper. Obviously the stronger the material, or larger the diameter of the pin, the more load it can handle, but it needs to shear off before the material it protects is crushed. I'd assume that a high carbon steel shear pin is being used on a machine made of some high tensile strength stainless alloy.
What is the Difference between stainless steel and high speed steel?
carbon content. Stainless has a higher content. Also, high speed steel refers to material drill bits are made of. Its a slightly altered mild steel.
Name four types of alloy?
Stainless Steel High speed steel Die (tool) steel Mild steel
Is the SS825 high carbon or stainless steel?
Stainless steel

What is the difference between steel and stainless steel?
While stainless steel is an alloy of steel, the primary difference between stainless steel and other steels is that the stainless steels have a high percentage (about 10% or even more) of the element chromium in them.
How ordinary iron to stainless steel?
Oversimplifying it alot: Iron + Carbon --> High Carbon Steel High Carbon Steel + Chromium & other surface alloy metals --> Stainless Steel Basically Stainless Steel is ordinary Steel with a surface Chrome Steel layer protecting it from corrosion.
What are three different types of steel?
stainless steel, mild steel, high density steel
What are the advantages of a stainless steel backsplash?
There are several advantages of a stainless steel backsplash. It is said that stainless steel backsplashes have receieved high praise over the years for they are easy to clean, easy to install, and are durable.
What is the difference between stainless steel and satin stainless steel?
The finish. Most people prefer stainless with a high shine (polished) finish. Satin has a dull finish to it (unpolished)
Is all steel attracted to a magnet?
No, for example high chrome stainless steel is not magnetic.
Does water with high iron content cause stainless steel fittings to rust?
Good quality stainless steel should never rust. I have noticed that the high iron content in our water causes red particles of iron oxide to remain on stainless steel vessels - and it looks exactly like rust but its just the iron in the water drying out on the stainless steel.
What type of drill bit do you use to countersink a flat head machine screw in a stainless steel plate?
The bit is called a countersink bit, but be sure if it's to be used in stainless that it is made from high speed steel (for metalwork) or carbide tipped and turned at a low speed. Use a good grade of cutting oil as a lubricant.
