Nickel Alloy MP35N-ANN vs MP35N-CW20
Nickel Alloy · MP35N temper comparison
MP35N-ANN and MP35N-CW20 are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, MP35N: ANN (annealed) versus CW20 (cold Worked ~20 %). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. MP35N-CW20 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 900 MPa (131 ksi) against 415 MPa (60.2 ksi) for MP35N-ANN, about 117% more; tensile strength follows at 1,240 MPa (180 ksi) vs 950 MPa (138 ksi). In exchange, MP35N-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 65% versus 35% for MP35N-CW20, and MP35N-CW20 is harder (320 HB vs 210 HB). MP35N-ANN runs hotter in service (425°C vs 370°C continuous). On the shop floor, MP35N-ANN welds better (good vs fair).
MP35N-ANNChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
MP35N-CW20Choose it when strength drives the design.
MP35N-ANN vs MP35N-CW20: 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.
