R30021 Cobalt vs. N08700 Stainless Steel

R30021 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while N08700 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 30% 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 (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30021 cobalt and the bottom bar is N08700 stainless steel.
