  • Hot Hardness

    Brinell hardness HBW 2.5/62.5 and electrical conductivity of WIRBALIT® HF at room temperature after annealing at 600 °C, depending on annealing time.

  • Annealing Resistance

    Brinell hardness HBW 2.5/62.5 after 30 minutes of annealing at defined temperature, measured at room temperature.

  • Conductivity

    Brinell hardness HBW 2.5/62.5 as a function of test temperature, measured under static load with progressively increasing temperature.
