N06045 Nickel vs. SAE-AISI H14 Steel
N06045 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI H14 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 30% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N06045 nickel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI H14 steel.
