EN 2.4951 Nickel vs. EN 1.3961 Alloy

EN 2.4951 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.3961 alloy belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 39% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 2.4951 nickel and the bottom bar is EN 1.3961 alloy.
