Commercially Pure Zinc vs. ACI-ASTM CB7Cu-1 Steel

Commercially pure zinc belongs to the zinc alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CB7Cu-1 steel belongs to the iron alloys. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is commercially pure zinc and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CB7Cu-1 steel.
