C55284 Copper vs. ASTM B780 Alloy
C55284 copper belongs to the copper alloys classification, while ASTM B780 alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 40% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 13 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is C55284 copper and the bottom bar is ASTM B780 alloy.
