Annealed 85-platinum 15-iridium vs. Annealed 90-platinum 10-iridium
Both annealed 85-platinum 15-iridium and annealed 90-platinum 10-iridium are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a very high 95% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 16 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed 85-platinum 15-iridium and the bottom bar is annealed 90-platinum 10-iridium.
