C97800 Nickel Silver vs. ASTM Grade HL Steel

C97800 nickel silver belongs to the copper alloys classification, while ASTM grade HL 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 24 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 C97800 nickel silver and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HL steel.
