EN 2.4650 Nickel vs. CC382H Copper-nickel

EN 2.4650 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while CC382H copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 33% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 2.4650 nickel and the bottom bar is CC382H copper-nickel.
