Cold Worked R30605 Alloy

Cold worked R30605 cobalt is R30605 cobalt in the cold worked (strain hardened) condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare cold worked R30605 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.
