CC383H Copper-nickel vs. Type 3 Magnetic Alloy

CC383H copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys classification, while Type 3 magnetic alloy belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is CC383H copper-nickel and the bottom bar is Type 3 magnetic alloy.
