EN 2.4964 Cobalt vs. ASTM A182 Grade F10
EN 2.4964 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while ASTM A182 grade F10 belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 20% 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 2.4964 cobalt and the bottom bar is ASTM A182 grade F10.
