ASTM B631 Class A vs. Grade CX2MW Nickel

ASTM B631 class A belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while grade CX2MW nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. There are 16 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (14, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B631 class A and the bottom bar is grade CX2MW nickel.
