R30006 Cobalt vs. ACI-ASTM CB7Cu-1 Steel
R30006 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CB7Cu-1 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 20% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is R30006 cobalt and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CB7Cu-1 steel.
