ACI-ASTM CB30 Steel vs. R30035 Cobalt
ACI-ASTM CB30 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30035 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 21% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 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 ACI-ASTM CB30 steel and the bottom bar is R30035 cobalt.
