AWS E316L vs. Grade CY40 Nickel

AWS E316L belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CY40 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 35% 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 E316L and the bottom bar is grade CY40 nickel.
