Grade 704C Zirconium vs. 50Cr-50Ni Alloy
Both grade 704C zirconium and 50Cr-50Ni alloy are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is grade 704C zirconium and the bottom bar is 50Cr-50Ni alloy.
