N08535 Stainless Steel vs. Grade CU5MCuC Nickel

Both N08535 stainless steel and grade CU5MCuC nickel are metals with high concentrations of iron and nickel. This makes them relatively similar, despite formally belonging to different alloy families. They have 89% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is N08535 stainless steel and the bottom bar is grade CU5MCuC nickel.
