AISI 316 Stainless Steel vs. Thallium Bromoiodide

AISI 316 stainless steel and thallium bromoiodide belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. AISI 316 stainless steel is a metal, while thallium bromoiodide is a ceramic material. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 11 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (27, in this case) are not shown.

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