Z40301 Zinc vs. CC765S Brass

Z40301 zinc belongs to the zinc alloys classification, while CC765S brass belongs to the copper alloys. They have a modest 35% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is Z40301 zinc and the bottom bar is CC765S brass.
