N10001 Nickel vs. EN 1.4855 Stainless Steel

N10001 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.4855 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 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 N10001 nickel and the bottom bar is EN 1.4855 stainless steel.
