EN 2.4654 Nickel vs. R30006 Cobalt
EN 2.4654 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys classification, while R30006 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 36% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 25 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 EN 2.4654 nickel and the bottom bar is R30006 cobalt.
