C71640 Copper-nickel vs. AISI 310 Stainless Steel
C71640 copper-nickel belongs to the copper alloys classification, while AISI 310 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 24% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is C71640 copper-nickel and the bottom bar is AISI 310 stainless steel.
