AWS E310 vs. Grade CW2M Nickel

AWS E310 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CW2M nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 40% 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 E310 and the bottom bar is grade CW2M nickel.
