ACI-ASTM CH20 Steel vs. Nickel 59

ACI-ASTM CH20 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 59 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 38% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CH20 steel and the bottom bar is nickel 59.
