SAE-AISI P5 Steel vs. N06007 Nickel

SAE-AISI P5 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while N06007 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 23% 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 SAE-AISI P5 steel and the bottom bar is N06007 nickel.
