ASTM Grade LC3 Steel vs. N07773 Nickel

ASTM grade LC3 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while N07773 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 20% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 26 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 grade LC3 steel and the bottom bar is N07773 nickel.
