AWS BCo-1 vs. S21900 Stainless Steel

AWS BCo-1 belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while S21900 stainless 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 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (17, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS BCo-1 and the bottom bar is S21900 stainless steel.
