ASTM B780 Alloy vs. CC494K Bronze
ASTM B780 alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while CC494K bronze belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 25% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 16 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (14, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B780 alloy and the bottom bar is CC494K bronze.
