ASTM B780 Alloy vs. C42200 Brass

ASTM B780 alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while C42200 brass 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 17 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 C42200 brass.
