Commercially Pure Zinc vs. Grade 15 Babbitt Metal

Commercially pure zinc belongs to the zinc alloys classification, while grade 15 Babbitt Metal belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 15 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 zinc and the bottom bar is grade 15 Babbitt Metal.
