Grade M30H Nickel vs. AWS BNi-2

Both grade M30H nickel and AWS BNi-2 are nickel alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 69% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade M30H nickel and the bottom bar is AWS BNi-2.
