Quarter-Hard (H01) C11000 Copper
H01 C11000 copper is C11000 copper in the H01 (quarter hard) temper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare H01 C11000 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.
