R31233 Cobalt vs. ACI-ASTM CD3MN Steel

R31233 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while ACI-ASTM CD3MN steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 35% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R31233 cobalt and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CD3MN steel.
