R30605 Cobalt vs. Grade CX2M Nickel

R30605 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while grade CX2M nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 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 R30605 cobalt and the bottom bar is grade CX2M nickel.
