Nickel 617 vs. SAE-AISI M47 Steel

Nickel 617 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI M47 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 20% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 21 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 nickel 617 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI M47 steel.
