R30008 Cobalt vs. AISI 414 Stainless Steel
R30008 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while AISI 414 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 29% 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 (10, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is R30008 cobalt and the bottom bar is AISI 414 stainless steel.
