Copper Alloy C10200 vs C19410
Copper Alloy · grade comparison
Copper Alloy C10200 and C19410 are both copper alloy grades. C19410 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 370 MPa (53.7 ksi) against 69 MPa (10 ksi) for C10200, about 5.4 times as much; tensile strength follows at 415 MPa (60.2 ksi) vs 221 MPa (32.1 ksi). In exchange, C10200 is the more ductile: elongation 45% versus 8% for C19410, and C19410 is harder (118 HB vs 45 HB). C10200 runs hotter in service (250°C vs 200°C continuous) and C10200 conducts heat better (391 W/m·K vs 260 W/m·K). On the shop floor, C10200 welds better (65 vs 55 out of 100).
C10200Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
C19410Choose it when strength drives the design.
C10200 vs C19410: 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.

C10200 vs C19410 — frequently asked
Is C19410 stronger than C10200?
Yes. C19410 has a typical yield strength of 370 MPa (53.7 ksi) against 69 MPa (10 ksi) for C10200 — about 5.4 times as much. Tensile strength is 415 MPa (60.2 ksi) vs 221 MPa (32.1 ksi).
Which is cheaper, C10200 or C19410?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$$, high); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
Which welds better, C10200 or C19410?
C10200. Its weldability rates good (65/100) against good (55/100) for C19410.
