AWS E2593 vs. Grade CX2M Nickel

AWS E2593 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CX2M nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 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 AWS E2593 and the bottom bar is grade CX2M nickel.
