N10624 Nickel vs. ACI-ASTM CF3 Steel

N10624 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CF3 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 25% 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 (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is N10624 nickel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CF3 steel.
