AWS ENiCrCoMo-1 vs. SAE-AISI M42 Steel
AWS ENiCrCoMo-1 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI M42 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 25% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 19 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 ENiCrCoMo-1 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI M42 steel.
