AWS ERNiCrFe-5 vs. ACI-ASTM CC50 Steel

AWS ERNiCrFe-5 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CC50 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 26% 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 (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS ERNiCrFe-5 and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CC50 steel.
