AWS BCo-1 vs. EN 1.4416 Stainless Steel

AWS BCo-1 belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while EN 1.4416 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (16, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS BCo-1 and the bottom bar is EN 1.4416 stainless steel.
