Cold Worked and Aged R30035 Alloy
Cold worked and aged R30035 cobalt is R30035 cobalt in the cold worked and aged condition. It has the highest strength compared to the other variants of R30035 cobalt. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare cold worked and aged R30035 cobalt to other cobalt alloys (top) and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
