EN 1.4749 Stainless Steel vs. R30012 Cobalt

EN 1.4749 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30012 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 30% 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 (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4749 stainless steel and the bottom bar is R30012 cobalt.
