As Forged and Air Cooled (M10) C14700 Copper

M10 C14700 copper is C14700 copper in the M10 (as forged and air cooled) condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare M10 C14700 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.
