EN 1.4587 Stainless Steel vs. C96300 Copper-nickel

EN 1.4587 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while C96300 copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 25% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 29 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 EN 1.4587 stainless steel and the bottom bar is C96300 copper-nickel.
