SAE-AISI H23 Steel vs. Nickel 601

SAE-AISI H23 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 21 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI H23 steel and the bottom bar is nickel 601.
