EN 1.4986 Stainless Steel vs. R30016 Cobalt

EN 1.4986 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30016 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 22% 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 (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4986 stainless steel and the bottom bar is R30016 cobalt.
