Grade 15 Babbitt Metal vs. Solder Alloy 103

Both grade 15 Babbitt Metal and solder alloy 103 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 41% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 14 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade 15 Babbitt Metal and the bottom bar is solder alloy 103.
