Extra-Hard (H06) C11600 Copper

H06 C11600 copper is C11600 copper in the H06 (extra hard) temper. It has the second lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C11600 copper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H06 C11600 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.
