ASTM B628 Ag-Cu vs. Reactor Grade Zirconium
Both ASTM B628 Ag-Cu and reactor grade zirconium are otherwise unclassified metals. There are 14 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B628 Ag-Cu and the bottom bar is reactor grade zirconium.
