ASTM Grade HC Steel vs. EN 2.4964 Cobalt

ASTM grade HC steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while EN 2.4964 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 24% 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 (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade HC steel and the bottom bar is EN 2.4964 cobalt.
