Extra-Hard (H06) C41300 Brass
H06 C41300 brass is C41300 brass in the H06 (extra hard) temper. It has the second highest strength compared to the other variants of C41300 brass. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H06 C41300 brass to: wrought brasses (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.
