ASTM Grade HN Steel vs. C71580 Copper-nickel

ASTM grade HN steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while C71580 copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 25% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 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 ASTM grade HN steel and the bottom bar is C71580 copper-nickel.
