Spring-hard Silver vs. Spring-tempered ASTM B780 Alloy

Both spring-hard silver and spring-tempered ASTM B780 alloy are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the spring temper. They have 75% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, 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 ASTM B780 alloy.
