Nickel Alloy M-35-1-ANN vs M-35-1-F
Nickel Alloy · M-35-1 temper comparison
M-35-1-ANN and M-35-1-F are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, M-35-1: ANN (annealed) versus F (as fabricated). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. M-35-1-F is the stronger of the two: yield strength 205 MPa (29.7 ksi) against 185 MPa (26.8 ksi) for M-35-1-ANN, about 11% more. In exchange, M-35-1-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 40% versus 35% for M-35-1-F, and M-35-1-F is harder (125 HB vs 115 HB).
M-35-1-ANNChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
M-35-1-FChoose it when strength drives the design.
M-35-1-ANN vs M-35-1-F: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

M-35-1-ANN vs M-35-1-F — frequently asked
Is M-35-1-F stronger than M-35-1-ANN?
Yes. M-35-1-F has a typical yield strength of 205 MPa (29.7 ksi) against 185 MPa (26.8 ksi) for M-35-1-ANN — about 11% more. Tensile strength is 485 MPa (70.3 ksi) vs 470 MPa (68.2 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or F?
F is the default M-35-1 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. The other condition is available on request or by drawing note — specify it in the material field or the part notes and the quote is priced for it.
When should I choose M-35-1-ANN over M-35-1-F?
Pick M-35-1-ANN when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded. Pick M-35-1-F when strength drives the design.
