Grade M35-1 Nickel vs. C90500 Gun Metal

Grade M35-1 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while C90500 gun metal belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 30% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade M35-1 nickel and the bottom bar is C90500 gun metal.
