CC480K Bronze vs. CR017A Copper

Both CC480K bronze and CR017A copper are copper alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 88% 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 CC480K bronze and the bottom bar is CR017A copper.
