60Cr-40Ni Alloy vs. ASTM Grade HK Steel
60Cr-40Ni alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while ASTM grade HK steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have 47% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (13, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HK steel.
