Quench Hardened and Temper Annealed (TQ50) C62400 Bronze

TQ50 C62400 bronze is C62400 bronze in the TQ50 (quench hardened and temper annealed) condition. It has the highest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C62400 bronze. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare TQ50 C62400 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.
