N08221 Nickel vs. EN 1.5521 Steel
N08221 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.5521 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 29% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N08221 nickel and the bottom bar is EN 1.5521 steel.
