EN 1.4869 Casting Alloy vs. EN 2.4815 Cast Nickel

Both EN 1.4869 casting alloy and EN 2.4815 cast nickel are nickel alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 70% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4869 casting alloy and the bottom bar is EN 2.4815 cast nickel.
