1/8-Hard (H00) C63600 Bronze
H00 C63600 bronze is C63600 bronze in the H00 (1/8 hard) temper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H00 C63600 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.
