Copper Alloy C19410-H06 vs C19410-O60
Copper Alloy · C19410 temper comparison
C19410-H06 and C19410-O60 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C19410: H06 (extra hard) versus O60 (soft annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C19410-H06 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 455 MPa (66 ksi) against 130 MPa (18.9 ksi) for C19410-O60, about 3.5 times as much; tensile strength follows at 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) vs 310 MPa (45 ksi). In exchange, C19410-O60 is the more ductile: elongation 32% versus 3% for C19410-H06, and C19410-H06 is harder (140 HB vs 66 HB). C19410-O60 runs hotter in service (300°C vs 175°C continuous). On the shop floor, C19410-O60 welds better (good vs fair).
C19410-H06Choose it when strength drives the design.
C19410-O60Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
C19410-H06 vs C19410-O60: 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.

C19410-H06 vs C19410-O60 — frequently asked
Is C19410-H06 stronger than C19410-O60?
Yes. C19410-H06 has a typical yield strength of 455 MPa (66 ksi) against 130 MPa (18.9 ksi) for C19410-O60 — about 3.5 times as much. Tensile strength is 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) vs 310 MPa (45 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H06 or O60?
H02 is the default C19410 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H06 nor O60). 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, C19410-H06 or C19410-O60?
C19410-H06, by a small margin. Both rate poor for machinability — 27/100 against 18/100 for C19410-O60; for welding the order is C19410-O60 first (good, 65/100) then C19410-H06 (fair, 45/100).
