ASTM Grade LC2 Steel vs. R30155 Cobalt

Both ASTM grade LC2 steel and R30155 cobalt are iron alloys. They have a modest 34% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade LC2 steel and the bottom bar is R30155 cobalt.
