SAE-AISI H42 Steel vs. R30008 Cobalt

SAE-AISI H42 steel belongs to the iron alloys classification, while R30008 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 19 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 SAE-AISI H42 steel and the bottom bar is R30008 cobalt.
