ASTM Grade HC Steel vs. R30816 Cobalt

ASTM grade HC steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30816 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 26% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 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 ASTM grade HC steel and the bottom bar is R30816 cobalt.
