Quarter-Hard (H01) C72800 Copper-Nickel

H01 C72800 copper-nickel is C72800 copper-nickel in the H01 (quarter hard) temper. It has the second lowest strength and second highest ductility compared to the other variants of C72800 copper-nickel.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H01 C72800 copper-nickel to: wrought copper-nickels (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.
