Grade 3 Babbitt Metal vs. CC483K Bronze

Grade 3 Babbitt Metal belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while CC483K bronze belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 20% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is grade 3 Babbitt Metal and the bottom bar is CC483K bronze.
