Annealed and Aged (AT or TF00) C19100 Copper
TF00 C19100 copper is C19100 copper in the TF00 (precipitation hardened) temper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare TF00 C19100 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.
