ACI-ASTM CA40F Steel vs. Nickel 725

ACI-ASTM CA40F steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 725 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 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CA40F steel and the bottom bar is nickel 725.
