60Cr-40Ni Alloy vs. EN 1.4612 Stainless Steel
60Cr-40Ni alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while EN 1.4612 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 23% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy and the bottom bar is EN 1.4612 stainless steel.
