Commercially Pure Zinc vs. Type 4 Magnetic Alloy

Commercially pure zinc belongs to the zinc alloys classification, while Type 4 magnetic alloy belongs to the nickel alloys. There are 26 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 commercially pure zinc and the bottom bar is Type 4 magnetic alloy.
