Solder Alloy 137 vs. Solder Alloy 402

Both solder alloy 137 and solder alloy 402 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 23 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 402.
