Grade 15 Babbitt Metal vs. C94500 Bronze
Grade 15 Babbitt Metal belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while C94500 bronze belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 21% 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 grade 15 Babbitt Metal and the bottom bar is C94500 bronze.
