Nickel 600 vs. SAE-AISI D3 Steel

Nickel 600 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI D3 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 21% 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 (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is nickel 600 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI D3 steel.
