Copper Alloy C19010-H01 vs C19010-H04
Copper Alloy · C19010 temper comparison
C19010-H01 and C19010-H04 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C19010: H01 (quarter hard) versus H04 (full hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C19010-H04 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 470 MPa (68.2 ksi) against 340 MPa (49.3 ksi) for C19010-H01, about 38% more; tensile strength follows at 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) vs 400 MPa (58 ksi). In exchange, C19010-H01 is the more ductile: elongation 13% versus 5% for C19010-H04, and C19010-H04 is harder (160 HV vs 125 HV).
C19010-H01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C19010-H04Choose it when strength drives the design.
C19010-H01 vs C19010-H04: 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.

C19010-H01 vs C19010-H04 — frequently asked
Is C19010-H04 stronger than C19010-H01?
Yes. C19010-H04 has a typical yield strength of 470 MPa (68.2 ksi) against 340 MPa (49.3 ksi) for C19010-H01 — about 38% more. Tensile strength is 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) vs 400 MPa (58 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H01 or H04?
TM04 is the default C19010 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H01 nor H04). 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 is easier to machine, C19010-H01 or C19010-H04?
C19010-H04, by a small margin. Both rate fair for machinability — 42/100 against 35/100 for C19010-H01.
