AISI 310 Stainless Steel vs. R30006 Cobalt

AISI 310 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30006 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 29% 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 (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 310 stainless steel and the bottom bar is R30006 cobalt.
