AWS E347 vs. Type 3 Magnetic Alloy

AWS E347 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while Type 3 magnetic alloy belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 29% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 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 E347 and the bottom bar is Type 3 magnetic alloy.
