EN 2.4633 Nickel vs. EN 1.4568 Stainless Steel

EN 2.4633 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.4568 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 35% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 2.4633 nickel and the bottom bar is EN 1.4568 stainless steel.
