Copper Alloy C17410-TH01 vs C17410-TM06
Copper Alloy · C17410 temper comparison
C17410-TH01 and C17410-TM06 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C17410: TH01 (TD01 and precipitation hardened) versus TM06 (mill hardened, extra hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C17410-TM06 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 760 MPa (110 ksi) against 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) for C17410-TH01, about 23% more; tensile strength follows at 795 MPa (115 ksi) vs 690 MPa (100 ksi). In exchange, C17410-TH01 is the more ductile: elongation 12% versus 8% for C17410-TM06, and C17410-TM06 is harder (228 HV vs 198 HV). C17410-TH01 conducts electricity better (50 % IACS vs 45 % IACS).
C17410-TH01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C17410-TM06Choose it when strength drives the design.
C17410-TH01 vs C17410-TM06: 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.

C17410-TH01 vs C17410-TM06 — frequently asked
Is C17410-TM06 stronger than C17410-TH01?
Yes. C17410-TM06 has a typical yield strength of 760 MPa (110 ksi) against 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) for C17410-TH01 — about 23% more. Tensile strength is 795 MPa (115 ksi) vs 690 MPa (100 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, TH01 or TM06?
TM04 is the default C17410 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither TH01 nor TM06). The other condition is available on request or by drawing note — specify it in the material field or the part notes and the quote is priced for it.
When should I choose C17410-TH01 over C17410-TM06?
Pick C17410-TH01 when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded. Pick C17410-TM06 when strength drives the design.
