Spring-Tempered and Stress Relieved (HR08) C19000 Copper
HR08 C19000 copper is C19000 copper in the HR08 (spring-tempered and stress relieved) temper. It has the highest strength and second lowest ductility compared to the other variants of C19000 copper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare HR08 C19000 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.
