Type 2 Magnetic Alloy vs. Ductile Cast Iron

Both Type 2 magnetic alloy and ductile cast iron are iron alloys. They have 51% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 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 Type 2 magnetic alloy and the bottom bar is ductile cast iron.
