ACI-ASTM CF3MN Steel vs. R30816 Cobalt

ACI-ASTM CF3MN steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30816 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CF3MN steel and the bottom bar is R30816 cobalt.
