G-CoCr28 Cobalt vs. SAE-AISI A3 Steel

G-CoCr28 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while SAE-AISI A3 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 24% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 21 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is G-CoCr28 cobalt and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI A3 steel.
