Synthetic Sapphire vs. Aluminosilicate Glass

Synthetic sapphire belongs to the oxide-based engineering ceramics classification, while aluminosilicate glass belongs to the glass and glass-ceramics. There are 6 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (20, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is synthetic sapphire and the bottom bar is aluminosilicate glass.
