Half-hard 60Pd-40Ag Alloy vs. Half-hard ASTM B617
Both half-hard 60Pd-40Ag alloy and half-hard ASTM B617 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the half-hard temper. They have a modest 40% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 19 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is half-hard 60Pd-40Ag alloy and the bottom bar is half-hard ASTM B617.
