Commercially Pure Zirconium vs. Grade 200 Maraging Steel

Commercially pure zirconium belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while grade 200 maraging steel belongs to the iron alloys. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is commercially pure zirconium and the bottom bar is grade 200 maraging steel.
