Nickel 600 vs. AISI 347 Stainless Steel
Nickel 600 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while AISI 347 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 35% 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 nickel 600 and the bottom bar is AISI 347 stainless steel.
