Annealed AISI 316 vs. Annealed R30035 Cobalt
Annealed AISI 316 belongs to the iron alloys classification, while annealed R30035 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 32% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed AISI 316 and the bottom bar is annealed R30035 cobalt.
