R30016 Cobalt vs. AISI 201 Stainless Steel
R30016 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while AISI 201 stainless 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 (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is R30016 cobalt and the bottom bar is AISI 201 stainless steel.
