CR007A Copper vs. CC765S Brass

Both CR007A copper and CC765S brass are copper alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 58% 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 CR007A copper and the bottom bar is CC765S brass.
