C68000 Brass vs. CC764S Brass

Both C68000 brass and CC764S brass are copper alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have a very high 95% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 26 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 C68000 brass and the bottom bar is CC764S brass.
