C76200 Nickel Silver vs. Ferrite
C76200 nickel silver and ferrite belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. C76200 nickel silver is a metal, while ferrite is a ceramic material. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 12 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (20, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is C76200 nickel silver and the bottom bar is ferrite.
