Extra-Spring (H10) C22000 Bronze

H10 C22000 bronze is C22000 bronze in the H10 (extra spring) temper. It has the highest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C22000 bronze. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H10 C22000 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.
