Grade M30C Nickel vs. AWS BVAg-31

Grade M30C nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while AWS BVAg-31 belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 30% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 15 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (15, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade M30C nickel and the bottom bar is AWS BVAg-31.
