C99400 Brass vs. Grade M35-2 Nickel

C99400 brass belongs to the copper alloys classification, while grade M35-2 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 35% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 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 C99400 brass and the bottom bar is grade M35-2 nickel.
