R31538 Cobalt vs. 60Cr-40Ni Alloy
R31538 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while 60Cr-40Ni alloy belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals. They have a modest 30% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 18 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is R31538 cobalt and the bottom bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy.
