Half-Hard and Stress Relieved (HR02) C19020 Copper

HR02 C19020 copper is C19020 copper in the HR02 (half-hard and stress relieved) temper. It has the lowest strength and highest ductility compared to the other variants of C19020 copper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare HR02 C19020 copper to: wrought coppers (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.
