ASTM A356 Grade 5 vs. N09777 Nickel

ASTM A356 grade 5 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while N09777 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 40% 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 ASTM A356 grade 5 and the bottom bar is N09777 nickel.
