Annealed AISI 440C vs. Annealed R30003 Cobalt
Annealed AISI 440C belongs to the iron alloys classification, while annealed R30003 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 34% 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 (5, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed AISI 440C and the bottom bar is annealed R30003 cobalt.
