ACI-ASTM CN3M Steel vs. C72150 Copper-nickel

ACI-ASTM CN3M steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while C72150 copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 25% 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 (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CN3M steel and the bottom bar is C72150 copper-nickel.
