N09777 Nickel vs. SAE-AISI 1536 Steel
N09777 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while SAE-AISI 1536 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 39% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N09777 nickel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI 1536 steel.
