SAE-AISI 1008 Steel vs. Commercially Pure Zinc

SAE-AISI 1008 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while commercially pure zinc belongs to the zinc alloys. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI 1008 steel and the bottom bar is commercially pure zinc.
