Commercially Pure Zinc vs. Grade 2 Babbitt Metal

Commercially pure zinc belongs to the zinc alloys classification, while grade 2 Babbitt Metal belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (13, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is commercially pure zinc and the bottom bar is grade 2 Babbitt Metal.
