60Cr-40Ni Alloy vs. S30601 Stainless Steel

60Cr-40Ni alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while S30601 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 19 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 S30601 stainless steel.
