ASTM B522 Class I vs. ASTM B617 Coin Silver
Both ASTM B522 class I and ASTM B617 coin silver are otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 25% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B522 class I and the bottom bar is ASTM B617 coin silver.
