Quarter-hard 85-silver 15-nickel vs. Quarter-hard ASTM B617
Both quarter-hard 85-silver 15-nickel and quarter-hard ASTM B617 are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the quarter-hard temper. They have 85% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 17 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 quarter-hard 85-silver 15-nickel and the bottom bar is quarter-hard ASTM B617.
