ASTM B522 Class II vs. ASTM B563 Pd-Ag-Cu
Both ASTM B522 class II and ASTM B563 Pd-Ag-Cu are otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 26% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B522 class II and the bottom bar is ASTM B563 Pd-Ag-Cu.
