R30006 Cobalt vs. ACI-ASTM CC50 Steel

R30006 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CC50 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 32% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (13, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30006 cobalt and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CC50 steel.
