ACI-ASTM CA6N Steel vs. R30008 Cobalt

ACI-ASTM CA6N steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30008 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 33% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CA6N steel and the bottom bar is R30008 cobalt.
