R30003 Cobalt vs. EN 1.7390 Steel

R30003 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while EN 1.7390 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 22% 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 R30003 cobalt and the bottom bar is EN 1.7390 steel.
