EN 2.4665 Nickel vs. SAE-AISI S1 Steel
EN 2.4665 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI S1 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 22% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 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 2.4665 nickel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI S1 steel.
