Spring-Tempered and Stress Relieved (HR08) C19020 Copper

HR08 C19020 copper is C19020 copper in the HR08 (spring-tempered and stress relieved) temper. It has the highest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C19020 copper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare HR08 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.
