AWS BNi-11 vs. SAE-AISI T6 Steel

AWS BNi-11 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI T6 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 21% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS BNi-11 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI T6 steel.
