Class 1 Tungsten vs. 60Cr-40Ni Alloy
Both class 1 tungsten and 60Cr-40Ni alloy are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is class 1 tungsten and the bottom bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy.
