Hot Rolled and Annealed (O25) C10500 Copper

O25 C10500 copper is C10500 copper in the O25 (hot rolled and annealed) condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare O25 C10500 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.
