ASTM A202 Steel vs. Grade CY40 Nickel

ASTM A202 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CY40 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A202 steel and the bottom bar is grade CY40 nickel.
