EN 1.4588 Stainless Steel vs. Nickel 201

EN 1.4588 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 201 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 26% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4588 stainless steel and the bottom bar is nickel 201.
