ASTM Grade HN Steel vs. Grade CU5MCuC Nickel

ASTM grade HN steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CU5MCuC nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have 77% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 22 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 ASTM grade HN steel and the bottom bar is grade CU5MCuC nickel.
