Cast N06230 Nickel Alloy
Cast N06230 nickel is a type of N06230 nickel. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare cast N06230 nickel to: wrought nickels (top), all nickel alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
