Engineering Porcelain vs. GM-120 Glass Ceramic
Engineering porcelain belongs to the oxide-based engineering ceramics classification, while GM-120 glass ceramic belongs to the glass and glass-ceramics. There are 10 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (17, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is engineering porcelain and the bottom bar is GM-120 glass ceramic.
