Copper Alloy C17410-TH02 vs C17410-TM08
Copper Alloy · C17410 temper comparison
C17410-TH02 and C17410-TM08 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C17410: TH02 (TD02 and precipitation hardened) versus TM08 (mill hardened, spring hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C17410-TM08 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 795 MPa (115 ksi) against 655 MPa (95 ksi) for C17410-TH02, about 21% more; tensile strength follows at 830 MPa (120 ksi) vs 725 MPa (105 ksi). In exchange, C17410-TH02 is the more ductile: elongation 10% versus 6% for C17410-TM08, and C17410-TM08 is harder (248 HV vs 208 HV).

C17410-TH02 vs C17410-TM08: 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-TH02 vs C17410-TM08 — frequently asked
Is C17410-TM08 stronger than C17410-TH02?
Yes. C17410-TM08 has a typical yield strength of 795 MPa (115 ksi) against 655 MPa (95 ksi) for C17410-TH02 — about 21% more. Tensile strength is 830 MPa (120 ksi) vs 725 MPa (105 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, TH02 or TM08?
TM04 is the default C17410 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither TH02 nor TM08). 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.
Which welds better, C17410-TH02 or C17410-TM08?
C17410-TH02. Its weldability rates good (55/100) against fair (50/100) for C17410-TM08.
