EN 2.4889 Nickel vs. SAE-AISI H11 Steel

EN 2.4889 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI H11 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 30% 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 H11 steel.
