ACI-ASTM CN7MS Steel vs. Nickel 201
ACI-ASTM CN7MS steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 201 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 24% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CN7MS steel and the bottom bar is nickel 201.
