EN 1.1060 Steel vs. Commercially Pure Silver

EN 1.1060 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while commercially pure silver belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 19 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 EN 1.1060 steel and the bottom bar is commercially pure silver.
