Type 3 Magnetic Alloy vs. C75400 Nickel Silver
Type 3 magnetic alloy belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while C75400 nickel silver belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 20% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is Type 3 magnetic alloy and the bottom bar is C75400 nickel silver.
