SAE-AISI M3 Class 2 Steel vs. Commercially Pure Silver

SAE-AISI M3 class 2 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while commercially pure silver belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI M3 class 2 steel and the bottom bar is commercially pure silver.
