EN 1.4869 Casting Alloy vs. C71000 Copper-nickel
EN 1.4869 casting alloy belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while C71000 copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 22% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, 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 C71000 copper-nickel.
