Monel 400 vs. CC480K Bronze

Monel 400 belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while CC480K bronze belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 32% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is Monel 400 and the bottom bar is CC480K bronze.
