G-CoCr28 Cobalt vs. S30452 Stainless Steel

G-CoCr28 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while S30452 stainless steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 39% 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 (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is G-CoCr28 cobalt and the bottom bar is S30452 stainless steel.
