ACI-ASTM CA15M Steel vs. N06025 Nickel

ACI-ASTM CA15M steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while N06025 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 23% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CA15M steel and the bottom bar is N06025 nickel.
