EN 1.3519 Steel vs. EN 2.4665 Nickel
EN 1.3519 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while EN 2.4665 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 21% 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 (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.3519 steel and the bottom bar is EN 2.4665 nickel.
