Nickel 30 vs. SAE-AISI T15 Steel

Nickel 30 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI T15 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 26% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 21 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is nickel 30 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI T15 steel.
