Annealed 85-silver 15-nickel vs. Annealed ASTM B617
Both annealed 85-silver 15-nickel and annealed ASTM B617 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have 85% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed 85-silver 15-nickel and the bottom bar is annealed ASTM B617.
