ASTM A27 Cast Steel vs. Low-oxygen Zirconium

ASTM A27 cast steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while low-oxygen zirconium belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A27 cast steel and the bottom bar is low-oxygen zirconium.
