C76200 Nickel Silver vs. Zinc Sulfide

C76200 nickel silver and zinc sulfide belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. C76200 nickel silver is a metal, while zinc sulfide is a ceramic material. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 10 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (18, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is C76200 nickel silver and the bottom bar is zinc sulfide.
