UNS R30075 (ASTM F75, ISO 5832-4) Co-Cr-Mo Alloy

R30075 cobalt is a cobalt alloy. ASTM F75 is the defining standard for this material. R30075 is the UNS number.

The properties of R30075 cobalt include three common variations. This page shows summary ranges across all of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare R30075 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.
