Solder Alloy 117 vs. Solder Alloy 801

Both solder alloy 117 and solder alloy 801 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have a modest 20% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is solder alloy 117 and the bottom bar is solder alloy 801.
