CC763S Brass vs. CR011A Copper

Both CC763S brass and CR011A copper are copper alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 62% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is CC763S brass and the bottom bar is CR011A copper.
