Solder Alloy 103 vs. Grade 15 Babbitt Metal

Both solder alloy 103 and grade 15 Babbitt Metal are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 41% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 14 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is solder alloy 103 and the bottom bar is grade 15 Babbitt Metal.
