Low Expansion Glass-ceramic vs. Alumina-lime-silica Glass

Both low expansion glass-ceramic and alumina-lime-silica glass are glass and glass-ceramics. There are 7 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (18, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is low expansion glass-ceramic and the bottom bar is alumina-lime-silica glass.
