CC383H Copper-nickel vs. C97800 Nickel Silver

Both CC383H copper-nickel and C97800 nickel silver are copper alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have a moderately high 92% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 28 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 CC383H copper-nickel and the bottom bar is C97800 nickel silver.
