Full-Hard (H04) C63800 Bronze

H04 C63800 bronze is C63800 bronze in the H04 (full hard) temper. It has the second lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C63800 bronze. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H04 C63800 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.
