EN 1.3956 Stainless Steel vs. Commercially Pure Zirconium

EN 1.3956 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while commercially pure zirconium belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.3956 stainless steel and the bottom bar is commercially pure zirconium.
