TQ50 C63000 bronze is C63000 bronze in the TQ50 (quench hardened and temper annealed) condition. It has the second highest ductility compared to the other variants of C63000 bronze. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare TQ50 C63000 bronze to: wrought bronzes (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.
