Full-Hard (H04) C67600 Bronze
H04 C67600 bronze is C67600 bronze in the H04 (full hard) temper. It has the highest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C67600 bronze. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H04 C67600 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.
