Nickel 825 vs. EN 1.1170 Steel
Nickel 825 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.1170 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 30 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 825 and the bottom bar is EN 1.1170 steel.
