ACI-ASTM CC50 Steel vs. R30605 Cobalt

ACI-ASTM CC50 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30605 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 24% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CC50 steel and the bottom bar is R30605 cobalt.
