ACI-ASTM CA15 Steel vs. Nickel 30

ACI-ASTM CA15 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 30 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 29% 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 (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CA15 steel and the bottom bar is nickel 30.
