60Cr-40Ni Alloy vs. C96600 Copper

60Cr-40Ni alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while C96600 copper belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 32% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 19 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 C96600 copper.
