CC483K Bronze vs. Grade 3 Babbitt Metal

CC483K bronze belongs to the copper alloys classification, while grade 3 Babbitt Metal belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 20% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. 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 CC483K bronze and the bottom bar is grade 3 Babbitt Metal.
