Copper Alloy C41300-H01 vs C41300-H02
Copper Alloy · C41300 temper comparison
C41300-H01 and C41300-H02 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C41300: H01 (quarter hard) versus H02 (half hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C41300-H02 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 400 MPa (58 ksi) against 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) for C41300-H01, about 21% more; tensile strength follows at 455 MPa (66 ksi) vs 400 MPa (58 ksi). In exchange, C41300-H01 is the more ductile: elongation 18% versus 8% for C41300-H02, and C41300-H02 is harder (130 HB vs 105 HB).
C41300-H01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C41300-H02Choose it when strength drives the design.
C41300-H01 vs C41300-H02: 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.
