Monel 400 vs. Silver Bromide

Monel 400 and silver bromide belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. Monel 400 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 (26, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is Monel 400 and the bottom bar is silver bromide.
