N12160 Nickel vs. ACI-ASTM CD3MN Steel

N12160 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CD3MN 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 27 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 N12160 nickel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CD3MN steel.
