Nickel 689 vs. SAE-AISI M36 Steel

Nickel 689 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI M36 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 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is nickel 689 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI M36 steel.
