R30006 Cobalt vs. AISI 302B Stainless Steel

R30006 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while AISI 302B 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 27 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 R30006 cobalt and the bottom bar is AISI 302B stainless steel.
