N06045 Nickel vs. ASTM A182 Grade F6b
N06045 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ASTM A182 grade F6b belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 38% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N06045 nickel and the bottom bar is ASTM A182 grade F6b.
