ASTM A217 Cast Steel vs. Grade 7 Babbitt Metal
ASTM A217 cast steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while grade 7 Babbitt Metal belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (15, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A217 cast steel and the bottom bar is grade 7 Babbitt Metal.
