View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.SIMONDS #81 is a cobalt, tungsten, chromium permanent magnet steel that is capable of developing moderately high coercive force along with high residual induction when it is in the hardened condition. Strong magnetic fields can be achieved with fairly short magnets and the configuration desired can be obtained with castings or by fabrication from rolled bars, sheets or plates.
