As Forged and Air Cooled (M10) C62300 Bronze

M10 C62300 bronze is C62300 bronze in the M10 (as forged and air cooled) condition. It has the lowest strength and highest ductility compared to the other variants of C62300 bronze. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare M10 C62300 bronze to: wrought bronzes (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.
