ASTM A182 Grade F6b vs. Nickel 600

ASTM A182 grade F6b belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 600 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 30 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 ASTM A182 grade F6b and the bottom bar is nickel 600.
