R30155 Cobalt vs. SAE-AISI H21 Steel

Both R30155 cobalt and SAE-AISI H21 steel are iron alloys. They have a modest 37% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 22 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30155 cobalt and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI H21 steel.
