Half-Hard (H02) C36200 Brass
H02 C36200 brass is C36200 brass in the H02 (half hard) temper. It has the highest strength compared to the other variants of C36200 brass. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H02 C36200 brass to: wrought brasses (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.
