AWS E100C-K3 vs. AWS ERNiCrMo-2
AWS E100C-K3 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while AWS ERNiCrMo-2 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 22% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 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 E100C-K3 and the bottom bar is AWS ERNiCrMo-2.
