Grade N12MV Nickel vs. Commercially Pure Silver
Grade N12MV nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while commercially pure silver belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 16 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (14, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is grade N12MV nickel and the bottom bar is commercially pure silver.
