Monel 400 vs. 60Cr-40Ni Alloy
Monel 400 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while 60Cr-40Ni alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 39% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (13, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is Monel 400 and the bottom bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy.
