N08026 Nickel vs. ASTM A387 Grade 11 Steel
N08026 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ASTM A387 grade 11 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 34% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 31 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N08026 nickel and the bottom bar is ASTM A387 grade 11 steel.
