EN 1.3961 Alloy vs. Chromium 33

Both EN 1.3961 alloy and chromium 33 are metals with high concentrations of iron and nickel. This makes them relatively similar, despite formally belonging to different alloy families. They have 64% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 21 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.3961 alloy and the bottom bar is chromium 33.
