Grade 704C Zirconium vs. Grade 702C Zirconium
Both grade 704C zirconium and grade 702C zirconium are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have a very high 99% of their average alloy composition in common.
For each property being compared, the top bar is grade 704C zirconium and the bottom bar is grade 702C zirconium.
