EN 1.4971 Stainless Steel vs. AWS ERNiCu-7
EN 1.4971 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while AWS ERNiCu-7 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 23% 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 (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4971 stainless steel and the bottom bar is AWS ERNiCu-7.
