PA 4/6 vs. CC212E Bronze
PA 4/6 and CC212E bronze belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. PA 4/6 is a polymeric material, while CC212E bronze is a metal. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 4 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (29, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is PA 4/6 and the bottom bar is CC212E bronze.
