ACI-ASTM CN3M Steel vs. C96400 Copper-nickel

ACI-ASTM CN3M steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while C96400 copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 27% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 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 C96400 copper-nickel.
