R31233 Cobalt vs. SAE-AISI M44 Steel

R31233 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while SAE-AISI M44 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 27% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R31233 cobalt and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI M44 steel.
