N06985 Nickel vs. ASTM A387 Grade 11 Steel

N06985 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ASTM A387 grade 11 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 22% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is N06985 nickel and the bottom bar is ASTM A387 grade 11 steel.
