60Cr-40Ni Alloy vs. Grade N12MV Nickel

60Cr-40Ni alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while grade N12MV nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 40% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy and the bottom bar is grade N12MV nickel.
