AWS ENiCrCoMo-1 vs. AISI 316N Stainless Steel
AWS ENiCrCoMo-1 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while AISI 316N stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 35% 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 (13, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS ENiCrCoMo-1 and the bottom bar is AISI 316N stainless steel.
