EN 2.4889 Nickel vs. SAE-AISI F2 Steel

EN 2.4889 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI F2 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 24% 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 2.4889 nickel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI F2 steel.
