AISI 317LMN Stainless Steel vs. N10629 Nickel

AISI 317LMN stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while N10629 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 25% 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 (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 317LMN stainless steel and the bottom bar is N10629 nickel.
