Commercially Pure Zirconium vs. R60704 Alloy

Both commercially pure zirconium and R60704 alloy are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a very high 98% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is commercially pure zirconium and the bottom bar is R60704 alloy.
