Cold Worked and Aged R30003 Alloy

Cold worked and aged R30003 cobalt is R30003 cobalt in the cold worked and aged condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare cold worked and aged R30003 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.
