ASTM A182 Grade F10 vs. Nickel 686
ASTM A182 grade F10 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 686 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 31% 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 (5, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A182 grade F10 and the bottom bar is nickel 686.
