R30001 Cobalt vs. EN 1.3960 Stainless Steel

R30001 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while EN 1.3960 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 22% 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 (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30001 cobalt and the bottom bar is EN 1.3960 stainless steel.
