silver. Other advantages of copper are its high thermal conductivity, corrosion
resistance, and its good ductility. The work hardening properties of ETP copper
is illustrated in <xrlabel xr id="fig:Strain_hardening_of_Cu_ETP_by_cold_working" />. The increase in strength achieved by cold working can
be reversed easily by subsequent annealing. The softening properties are
strongly dependent on the preceding cold working percentage
