Fully Cold-Worked (H or TD04) C18200 Copper
TD04 C18200 copper is C18200 copper in the TD04 (solution heat treated and cold worked to full-hard) temper. It has the lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C18200 copper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare TD04 C18200 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.
