AWS E308H vs. 60Cr-40Ni Alloy
AWS E308H belongs to the iron alloys classification, while 60Cr-40Ni alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 17 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 AWS E308H and the bottom bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy.
