ASTM B780 Alloy vs. AWS BAu-3
Both ASTM B780 alloy and AWS BAu-3 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 13 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B780 alloy and the bottom bar is AWS BAu-3.
