ASTM B780 Alloy vs. 60Pd-40Ag Alloy
Both ASTM B780 alloy and 60Pd-40Ag alloy are otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 40% 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 (5, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B780 alloy and the bottom bar is 60Pd-40Ag alloy.
