Annealed R30035 Alloy
Annealed R30035 cobalt is R30035 cobalt in the annealed condition. It has the lowest strength compared to the other variants of R30035 cobalt. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare annealed 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.
