Annealed R31538 Cobalt vs. Grade 1 Nickel 625
Annealed R31538 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while grade 1 nickel 625 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 29% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed R31538 cobalt and the bottom bar is grade 1 nickel 625.
