Commercially Pure Palladium vs. ASTM A732 Cast Steel

Commercially pure palladium belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while ASTM A732 cast steel belongs to the iron alloys. There are 18 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 commercially pure palladium and the bottom bar is ASTM A732 cast steel.
