ASTM A216 Cast Steel vs. Solder Alloy 301

ASTM A216 cast steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while solder alloy 301 belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A216 cast steel and the bottom bar is solder alloy 301.
