ACI-ASTM CB6 Steel vs. AWS BNi-10

ACI-ASTM CB6 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while AWS BNi-10 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 20% 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 (14, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CB6 steel and the bottom bar is AWS BNi-10.
