ASTM A216 Cast Steel vs. Commercially Pure Silver

ASTM A216 cast steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while commercially pure silver belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A216 cast steel and the bottom bar is commercially pure silver.
