EN 1.4530 Stainless Steel vs. EN 2.4816 Nickel

EN 1.4530 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while EN 2.4816 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 29% 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 (13, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4530 stainless steel and the bottom bar is EN 2.4816 nickel.
