EN 1.3956 Stainless Steel vs. R30035 Cobalt

EN 1.3956 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30035 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 35% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.3956 stainless steel and the bottom bar is R30035 cobalt.
