EN 1.4588 Stainless Steel vs. AWS ERNi-1

EN 1.4588 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while AWS ERNi-1 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 27% 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 (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4588 stainless steel and the bottom bar is AWS ERNi-1.
