Grade CY40 Nickel vs. Type 2 Magnetic Alloy

Grade CY40 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while Type 2 magnetic alloy belongs to the iron alloys. They have 54% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade CY40 nickel and the bottom bar is Type 2 magnetic alloy.
