AISI 316LN Stainless Steel vs. AWS ERNiMo-3

AISI 316LN stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while AWS ERNiMo-3 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 26% 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 (17, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 316LN stainless steel and the bottom bar is AWS ERNiMo-3.
