Grade CX2M Nickel vs. ASTM Grade HK Steel

Grade CX2M nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ASTM grade HK steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have 45% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade CX2M nickel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HK steel.
