60Cr-40Ni Alloy vs. Grade 705C Zirconium

Both 60Cr-40Ni alloy and grade 705C zirconium are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. There are 16 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy and the bottom bar is grade 705C zirconium.
