R30021 Cobalt vs. ACI-ASTM CF10SMnN Steel
R30021 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CF10SMnN 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 23 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 R30021 cobalt and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CF10SMnN steel.
