R30605 Cobalt vs. ACI-ASTM CN7M Steel

R30605 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CN7M steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 33% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30605 cobalt and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CN7M steel.
