CC383H Copper-nickel vs. CR025A Copper

Both CC383H copper-nickel and CR025A copper are copper alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 67% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is CC383H copper-nickel and the bottom bar is CR025A copper.
