Grade CX2MW Nickel vs. C96600 Copper

Grade CX2MW nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while C96600 copper belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 33% 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 (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade CX2MW nickel and the bottom bar is C96600 copper.
