Copper Alloy BrAZhMts10-3-1.5-ANN vs BrAZhMts10-3-1.5 CENT
Copper Alloy · BrAZhMts10-3-1.5 temper comparison
BrAZhMts10-3-1.5-ANN and BrAZhMts10-3-1.5 CENT are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, BrAZhMts10-3-1.5: ANN (annealed) versus CENT (centrifugally cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 240 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (annealed versus centrifugally cast). BrAZhMts10-3-1.5-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 14% for BrAZhMts10-3-1.5 CENT.

BrAZhMts10-3-1.5-ANN vs BrAZhMts10-3-1.5 CENT: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all copper alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
