SAE-AISI D3 Steel vs. Commercially Pure Zirconium

SAE-AISI D3 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while commercially pure zirconium belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI D3 steel and the bottom bar is commercially pure zirconium.
