Grade M35-2 Nickel vs. C49300 Brass

Grade M35-2 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while C49300 brass 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 28 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 M35-2 nickel and the bottom bar is C49300 brass.
