AWS E316H vs. Grade CW6MC Nickel

AWS E316H belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CW6MC 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 24 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 E316H and the bottom bar is grade CW6MC nickel.
