AISI 201L Stainless Steel vs. R30008 Cobalt

AISI 201L stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30008 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 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 201L stainless steel and the bottom bar is R30008 cobalt.
