CC750S Brass vs. Z13004 Zinc
CC750S brass belongs to the copper alloys classification, while Z13004 zinc belongs to the zinc alloys. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. 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 CC750S brass and the bottom bar is Z13004 zinc.
