Spring-hard Silver vs. Spring-tempered 70Ag-30Ni Alloy
Both spring-hard silver and spring-tempered 70Ag-30Ni alloy are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the spring temper. They have 70% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 17 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 spring-hard silver and the bottom bar is spring-tempered 70Ag-30Ni alloy.
