R30012 Cobalt vs. AISI 303Se Stainless Steel

R30012 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while AISI 303Se 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 (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30012 cobalt and the bottom bar is AISI 303Se stainless steel.
