SAE-AISI H11 Steel vs. R30003 Cobalt
SAE-AISI H11 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30003 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys. They have a modest 23% 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 (5, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is SAE-AISI H11 steel and the bottom bar is R30003 cobalt.
