Full-Hard 85-Silver 15-Cadmium-Oxide Alloy

Full-hard 85-silver 15-cadmium-oxide is 85-silver 15-cadmium-oxide in the full-hard temper. It has the highest strength compared to the other variants of 85-silver 15-cadmium-oxide.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare full-hard 85-silver 15-cadmium-oxide to: precious metal electrical contact alloys (top), all alloys in the same category (middle), 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.
