Solder Alloy 104 vs. Solder Alloy 171
Both solder alloy 104 and solder alloy 171 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have a very high 96% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is solder alloy 104 and the bottom bar is solder alloy 171.
