N12160 Nickel vs. EN 1.3961 Alloy
N12160 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while EN 1.3961 alloy belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 38% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is N12160 nickel and the bottom bar is EN 1.3961 alloy.
