Grade M35-2 Nickel vs. C61800 Bronze

Grade M35-2 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while C61800 bronze belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 31% 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 M35-2 nickel and the bottom bar is C61800 bronze.
