SAE-AISI D3 Steel vs. Nickel 601

SAE-AISI D3 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 601 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 27% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 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 D3 steel and the bottom bar is nickel 601.
