C71000 Copper-nickel vs. ASTM F15 Fe-Ni-Co
C71000 copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys classification, while ASTM F15 Fe-Ni-Co belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 22% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 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 C71000 copper-nickel and the bottom bar is ASTM F15 Fe-Ni-Co.
