Type 4 Magnetic Alloy vs. R30003 Cobalt
Type 4 magnetic alloy belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while R30003 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 34% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is Type 4 magnetic alloy and the bottom bar is R30003 cobalt.
