CC382H Copper-nickel vs. Grade CX2MW Nickel

CC382H copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys classification, while grade CX2MW nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 34% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 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 CC382H copper-nickel and the bottom bar is grade CX2MW nickel.
