R30155 Cobalt vs. Grade VDCrV Steel
Both R30155 cobalt and grade VDCrV steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 32% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 24 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 R30155 cobalt and the bottom bar is grade VDCrV steel.
