Solder Alloy 142 vs. Solder Alloy 181

Both solder alloy 142 and solder alloy 181 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 49% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 22 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 142 and the bottom bar is solder alloy 181.
