Type 2 Magnetic Alloy vs. N12160 Nickel

Type 2 magnetic alloy belongs to the iron alloys classification, while N12160 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 38% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is Type 2 magnetic alloy and the bottom bar is N12160 nickel.
