Spring-hard Silver vs. Spring-tempered 90-silver 10-nickel
Both spring-hard silver and spring-tempered 90-silver 10-nickel are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the spring temper. They have a moderately high 90% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is spring-hard silver and the bottom bar is spring-tempered 90-silver 10-nickel.
