EN 2.4608 Nickel vs. Grade FDSiCrV Steel

EN 2.4608 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while grade FDSiCrV steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 20% 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 (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 2.4608 nickel and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCrV steel.
