Commercially Pure Silver vs. 90-silver 10-nickel
Both commercially pure silver and 90-silver 10-nickel are otherwise unclassified metals. They have a moderately high 90% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is commercially pure silver and the bottom bar is 90-silver 10-nickel.
