Commercially Pure Zirconium vs. Type 3 Magnetic Alloy

Commercially pure zirconium belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while Type 3 magnetic alloy belongs to the nickel alloys. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is commercially pure zirconium and the bottom bar is Type 3 magnetic alloy.
