ACI-ASTM CG6MMN Steel vs. Nickel 625
ACI-ASTM CG6MMN steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 625 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 39% 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 ACI-ASTM CG6MMN steel and the bottom bar is nickel 625.
