Type 3 Magnetic Alloy vs. Type 2 Niobium

Type 3 magnetic alloy belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while Type 2 niobium belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (14, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is Type 3 magnetic alloy and the bottom bar is Type 2 niobium.
