N06603 Nickel vs. ACI-ASTM CF3 Steel

N06603 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CF3 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 39% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 29 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 N06603 nickel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CF3 steel.
