Grade 704C Zirconium vs. Solder Alloy 161
Both grade 704C zirconium and solder alloy 161 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. There are 17 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 704C zirconium and the bottom bar is solder alloy 161.
