N06230 Nickel vs. EN 1.3558 Steel

N06230 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.3558 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 20% 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 N06230 nickel and the bottom bar is EN 1.3558 steel.
