Solder Alloy 703 vs. Solder Alloy 161

Both solder alloy 703 and solder alloy 161 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 60% 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 703 and the bottom bar is solder alloy 161.
