R30605 Cobalt vs. SAE-AISI M36 Steel

R30605 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while SAE-AISI M36 steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 21% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 20 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 R30605 cobalt and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI M36 steel.
