ACI-ASTM CF16F Steel vs. R31233 Cobalt

ACI-ASTM CF16F steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R31233 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 34% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CF16F steel and the bottom bar is R31233 cobalt.
