Grade CU5MCuC Nickel vs. Type 1 Magnetic Alloy

Both grade CU5MCuC nickel and Type 1 magnetic alloy are metals with high concentrations of iron and nickel. This makes them relatively similar, despite formally belonging to different alloy families. They have 72% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade CU5MCuC nickel and the bottom bar is Type 1 magnetic alloy.
