60Cr-40Ni Alloy vs. 50Cr-50Ni-Cb Alloy

Both 60Cr-40Ni alloy and 50Cr-50Ni-Cb alloy are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 89% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy and the bottom bar is 50Cr-50Ni-Cb alloy.
