AWS E309H vs. Grade CW6M Nickel

AWS E309H belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CW6M nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 34% 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 E309H and the bottom bar is grade CW6M nickel.
