R30016 Cobalt vs. Grade CU5MCuC Nickel
R30016 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while grade CU5MCuC 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 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is R30016 cobalt and the bottom bar is grade CU5MCuC nickel.
