N06007 Nickel vs. SAE-AISI 4028 Steel
N06007 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI 4028 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 21% 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 (3, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N06007 nickel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI 4028 steel.
