Annealed Nickel 600 vs. Annealed S45500 Stainless Steel

Annealed nickel 600 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while annealed S45500 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 29% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 26 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 annealed nickel 600 and the bottom bar is annealed S45500 stainless steel.
