R30006 Cobalt vs. Nickel 625
R30006 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while nickel 625 belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 26% 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 nickel 625.
