AWS E309 vs. Grade CW12MW Nickel

AWS E309 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CW12MW 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 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS E309 and the bottom bar is grade CW12MW nickel.
