Solder Alloy 137 vs. Solder Alloy 122
Both solder alloy 137 and solder alloy 122 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 89% of their average alloy composition in common. 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 137 and the bottom bar is solder alloy 122.
