Extra-Spring (H10) C11400 Copper
H10 C11400 copper is C11400 copper in the H10 (extra spring) temper. It has the highest strength and second lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C11400 copper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H10 C11400 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.
