ASTM B522 Class I vs. 90-silver 10-nickel
Both ASTM B522 class I and 90-silver 10-nickel are otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 25% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B522 class I and the bottom bar is 90-silver 10-nickel.
