Copper Alloy C47000 AS-WELDED vs C47000-O60
Copper Alloy · C47000 temper comparison
C47000 AS-WELDED and C47000-O60 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C47000: AS-WELDED (as-welded deposit) versus O60 (soft annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C47000 AS-WELDED is the stronger of the two: yield strength 160 MPa (23.2 ksi) against 150 MPa (21.8 ksi) for C47000-O60, about 7% more. In exchange, C47000-O60 is the more ductile: elongation 42% versus 32% for C47000 AS-WELDED, and C47000 AS-WELDED is harder (100 HB vs 90 HB).
C47000 AS-WELDEDChoose it when strength drives the design.
C47000-O60Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C47000 AS-WELDED vs C47000-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.
