R30001 Cobalt vs. AISI 301LN Stainless Steel

R30001 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while AISI 301LN stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 21% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30001 cobalt and the bottom bar is AISI 301LN stainless steel.
