Annealed R30035 Cobalt vs. Annealed S20910 Stainless Steel
Annealed R30035 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while annealed S20910 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 35% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is annealed R30035 cobalt and the bottom bar is annealed S20910 stainless steel.
