AISI 301L Stainless Steel vs. EN 2.4964 Cobalt

AISI 301L stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while EN 2.4964 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 27% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 301L stainless steel and the bottom bar is EN 2.4964 cobalt.
