Cold Worked R05400 Tantalum vs. Work Hardened 90-platinum 10-iridium
Both cold worked R05400 tantalum and work hardened 90-platinum 10-iridium are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the cold worked (strain hardened) condition. There are 15 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 cold worked R05400 tantalum and the bottom bar is work hardened 90-platinum 10-iridium.
