ASTM Grade LCC Steel vs. N08120 Nickel
ASTM grade LCC steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while N08120 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 32% 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 grade LCC steel and the bottom bar is N08120 nickel.
