Nickel Alloy N06035-CD vs N06035 HF-A
Nickel Alloy · N06035 temper comparison
N06035-CD and N06035 HF-A are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, N06035: CD (cold drawn) versus HF-A (hot finished / hot rolled and annealed heavy section). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. N06035-CD is the stronger of the two: yield strength 720 MPa (104 ksi) against 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) for N06035 HF-A, about 118% more; tensile strength follows at 950 MPa (138 ksi) vs 720 MPa (104 ksi). In exchange, N06035 HF-A is the more ductile: elongation 58% versus 25% for N06035-CD, and N06035-CD is harder (280 HB vs 168 HB). N06035 HF-A runs hotter in service (650°C vs 540°C continuous).

N06035-CD vs N06035 HF-A: 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.

N06035-CD vs N06035 HF-A — frequently asked
Is N06035-CD stronger than N06035 HF-A?
Yes. N06035-CD has a typical yield strength of 720 MPa (104 ksi) against 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) for N06035 HF-A — about 118% more. Tensile strength is 950 MPa (138 ksi) vs 720 MPa (104 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, CD or HF-A?
SA is the default N06035 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither CD nor HF-A). 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.
Which welds better, N06035-CD or N06035 HF-A?
N06035 HF-A. Its weldability rates very good (78/100) against very good (70/100) for N06035-CD.
