Solder Alloy 162 vs. CC495K Bronze

Solder alloy 162 belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while CC495K bronze belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 21% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is solder alloy 162 and the bottom bar is CC495K bronze.
