C77100 Nickel Silver vs. Commercially Pure Zinc

C77100 nickel silver belongs to the copper alloys classification, while commercially pure zinc belongs to the zinc alloys. They have a modest 35% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is C77100 nickel silver and the bottom bar is commercially pure zinc.
