CC382H Copper-nickel vs. Grade CU5MCuC Nickel

CC382H copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys classification, while grade CU5MCuC nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 36% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is CC382H copper-nickel and the bottom bar is grade CU5MCuC nickel.
