ASTM B631 Class C vs. Reactor Grade Zirconium
Both ASTM B631 class C and reactor grade zirconium are otherwise unclassified metals. There are 11 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 B631 class C and the bottom bar is reactor grade zirconium.
