R30035 Cobalt vs. Grade 350 Maraging Steel
R30035 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while grade 350 maraging steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 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 R30035 cobalt and the bottom bar is grade 350 maraging steel.
