AISI 446 Stainless Steel vs. R30075 Cobalt

AISI 446 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30075 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 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 446 stainless steel and the bottom bar is R30075 cobalt.
