EN 1.4313 Stainless Steel vs. R31233 Cobalt
EN 1.4313 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R31233 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 22% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is EN 1.4313 stainless steel and the bottom bar is R31233 cobalt.
