Annealed Silver vs. Annealed SAE-AISI M4

Annealed silver belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while annealed SAE-AISI M4 belongs to the iron alloys. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed silver and the bottom bar is annealed SAE-AISI M4.
