Type 2 Pewter vs. Solder Alloy 117

Both Type 2 pewter and solder alloy 117 are otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 20% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is Type 2 pewter and the bottom bar is solder alloy 117.
