ASTM B780 Alloy vs. C51000 Bronze

ASTM B780 alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while C51000 bronze belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 25% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (14, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B780 alloy and the bottom bar is C51000 bronze.
