N06250 Nickel vs. S45000 Stainless Steel

N06250 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while S45000 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 36% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is N06250 nickel and the bottom bar is S45000 stainless steel.
