Extra-Hard (H06) C70620 Copper-Nickel

H06 C70620 copper-nickel is C70620 copper-nickel in the H06 (extra hard) temper. It has the second highest strength compared to the other variants of C70620 copper-nickel. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H06 C70620 copper-nickel to: wrought copper-nickels (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.
