Full-hard AISI 302 vs. Full-hard Nickel 600
Full-hard AISI 302 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while full-hard nickel 600 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 33% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 31 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is full-hard AISI 302 and the bottom bar is full-hard nickel 600.
