AISI 316 Stainless Steel vs. Silver Bromide

AISI 316 stainless steel and silver bromide belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. AISI 316 stainless steel is a metal, while silver bromide is a ceramic material. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 9 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (30, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 316 stainless steel and the bottom bar is silver bromide.
