H900 Hardened CB7Cu-1 Cast Stainless Steel
H900 CB7Cu-1 is ACI-ASTM CB7Cu-1 steel in the hardened (H) condition. It has the second highest strength compared to the other variants of ACI-ASTM CB7Cu-1 steel. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H900 CB7Cu-1 to: cast precipitation-hardening stainless steels (top), all iron 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.
