N06045 Nickel vs. EN 1.7380 Steel
N06045 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.7380 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 26% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N06045 nickel and the bottom bar is EN 1.7380 steel.
