R30155 Cobalt vs. ASTM Grade LCB Steel
Both R30155 cobalt and ASTM grade LCB steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is R30155 cobalt and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LCB steel.
