60Cr-40Ni Alloy vs. Solder Alloy 171
Both 60Cr-40Ni alloy and solder alloy 171 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. There are 15 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy and the bottom bar is solder alloy 171.
