CC765S Brass vs. Monel K-500

CC765S brass belongs to the copper alloys classification, while Monel K-500 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 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is CC765S brass and the bottom bar is Monel K-500.
