Magnesium Fluoride vs. High-alumina Refractory

Magnesium fluoride belongs to the non-glass optical ceramics classification, while high-alumina refractory belongs to the oxide-based engineering ceramics. There are 5 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is magnesium fluoride and the bottom bar is high-alumina refractory.
