CC497K Bronze vs. Grade 15 Babbitt Metal

CC497K bronze belongs to the copper alloys classification, while grade 15 Babbitt Metal belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 22% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 16 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (13, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is CC497K bronze and the bottom bar is grade 15 Babbitt Metal.
