C67300 Bronze vs. Zamak 2

C67300 bronze belongs to the copper alloys classification, while Zamak 2 belongs to the zinc alloys. They have a modest 36% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 30 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 C67300 bronze and the bottom bar is Zamak 2.
