ACI-ASTM CE3MN Steel vs. R30605 Cobalt

ACI-ASTM CE3MN steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30605 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 30% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CE3MN steel and the bottom bar is R30605 cobalt.
