AWS E80C-B3L vs. Grade CU5MCuC Nickel
AWS E80C-B3L belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade CU5MCuC nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 35% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS E80C-B3L and the bottom bar is grade CU5MCuC nickel.
