N06060 Nickel vs. ASTM Grade HC Steel

N06060 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ASTM grade HC steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is N06060 nickel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HC steel.
