Monel K-500 vs. C11000 Copper

Monel K-500 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while C11000 copper 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 (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is Monel K-500 and the bottom bar is C11000 copper.
