Titanium Diboride vs. C76200 Nickel Silver
Titanium diboride and C76200 nickel silver belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. Titanium diboride is a ceramic material, while C76200 nickel silver is a metal. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 14 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (18, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is titanium diboride and the bottom bar is C76200 nickel silver.
