AWS E409Nb vs. Nickel 30

AWS E409Nb belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 30 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 30% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS E409Nb and the bottom bar is nickel 30.
