AWS ERNiCrFe-11 vs. Grade 250 Maraging Steel
AWS ERNiCrFe-11 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while grade 250 maraging steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 32% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 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 ERNiCrFe-11 and the bottom bar is grade 250 maraging steel.
