R30012 Cobalt vs. Grade CW2M Nickel
R30012 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while grade CW2M nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 20% 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 (8, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is R30012 cobalt and the bottom bar is grade CW2M nickel.
