R30012 Cobalt vs. EN 2.4851 Nickel
R30012 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while EN 2.4851 nickel belongs to the nickel alloys. They have a modest 26% 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 (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is R30012 cobalt and the bottom bar is EN 2.4851 nickel.
