Temper A (Annealed) K93500 Alloy

Annealed K93500 alloy is K93500 alloy in the annealed condition. It has the lowest strength compared to the other variants of K93500 alloy. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare annealed K93500 alloy to: low-expansion iron alloys (top), all iron alloys (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.
