3/4-Hard (H03) C15100 Copper

H03 C15100 copper is C15100 copper in the H03 (3/4 hard) temper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H03 C15100 copper to: wrought coppers (top), all copper 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.
