Grade 200 Maraging Steel vs. R30035 Cobalt
Grade 200 maraging steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30035 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 31% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is grade 200 maraging steel and the bottom bar is R30035 cobalt.
