As Hot Rolled (M20) C11000 Copper

M20 C11000 copper is C11000 copper in the M20 (as hot rolled) condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare M20 C11000 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.
