ACI-ASTM CD6MN Steel vs. N07776 Nickel

ACI-ASTM CD6MN steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while N07776 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CD6MN steel and the bottom bar is N07776 nickel.
