AWS E316 vs. Grade N12MV Nickel

AWS E316 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade N12MV nickel 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 20 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 E316 and the bottom bar is grade N12MV nickel.
