EN 1.4416 Stainless Steel vs. C71520 Copper-nickel

EN 1.4416 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while C71520 copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 26% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 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 1.4416 stainless steel and the bottom bar is C71520 copper-nickel.
