EN 2.4879 Cast Nickel vs. Grade M35-2 Nickel

Both EN 2.4879 cast nickel and grade M35-2 nickel are nickel alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 52% 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 2.4879 cast nickel and the bottom bar is grade M35-2 nickel.
