CR016A Copper vs. CC753S Brass

Both CR016A copper and CC753S brass are copper alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 59% 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 CR016A copper and the bottom bar is CC753S brass.
