ASTM Grade HL Steel vs. Nickel 600
ASTM grade HL steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while nickel 600 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have 44% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HL steel and the bottom bar is nickel 600.
