SAE-AISI 1086 Steel vs. Nickel 825

SAE-AISI 1086 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 825 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 30% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI 1086 steel and the bottom bar is nickel 825.
