Grade CW12MW Nickel vs. S44800 Stainless Steel

Grade CW12MW nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while S44800 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 29% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade CW12MW nickel and the bottom bar is S44800 stainless steel.
