Copper Alloy C17410-TM00 vs C17410-TM08
Copper Alloy · C17410 temper comparison
C17410-TM00 and C17410-TM08 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C17410: TM00 (mill 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 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) for C17410-TM00, about 53% more; tensile strength follows at 830 MPa (120 ksi) vs 620 MPa (89.9 ksi). In exchange, C17410-TM00 is the more ductile: elongation 16% versus 6% for C17410-TM08, and C17410-TM08 is harder (248 HV vs 180 HV). C17410-TM00 conducts heat better (225 W/m·K vs 200 W/m·K).

C17410-TM08Choose it when strength drives the design.
C17410-TM00 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.
