N08120 Nickel vs. EN 1.1122 Steel
N08120 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.1122 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 32% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N08120 nickel and the bottom bar is EN 1.1122 steel.
