CR011A Copper vs. Commercially Pure Zirconium

CR011A copper belongs to the copper alloys classification, while commercially pure zirconium belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is CR011A copper and the bottom bar is commercially pure zirconium.
