EN 1.4869 Casting Alloy vs. AWS ERNi-1
Both EN 1.4869 casting alloy and AWS ERNi-1 are nickel alloys. They have a modest 36% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4869 casting alloy and the bottom bar is AWS ERNi-1.
