Copper Alloy C64700-TD01 vs C64700-TH01
Copper Alloy · C64700 temper comparison
C64700-TD01 and C64700-TH01 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C64700: TD01 (solution heat treated and cold worked, quarter hard) versus TH01 (TD01 and precipitation hardened). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C64700-TH01 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 515 MPa (74.7 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for C64700-TD01, about 66% more; tensile strength follows at 600 MPa (87 ksi) vs 415 MPa (60.2 ksi). In exchange, C64700-TD01 is the more ductile: elongation 25% versus 14% for C64700-TH01, and C64700-TH01 is harder (180 HB vs 115 HB). C64700-TH01 runs hotter in service (200°C vs 150°C continuous) and C64700-TH01 conducts heat better (158 W/m·K vs 115 W/m·K). On the shop floor, C64700-TH01 machines more easily (fair vs poor).

C64700-TH01Choose it when strength drives the design, or when the part sees heat.
C64700-TD01 vs C64700-TH01: 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.

C64700-TD01 vs C64700-TH01 — frequently asked
Is C64700-TH01 stronger than C64700-TD01?
Yes. C64700-TH01 has a typical yield strength of 515 MPa (74.7 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for C64700-TD01 — about 66% more. Tensile strength is 600 MPa (87 ksi) vs 415 MPa (60.2 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, TD01 or TH01?
TF00 is the default C64700 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither TD01 nor TH01). 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, C64700-TD01 or C64700-TH01?
C64700-TH01. Its machinability rates fair (45/100) against poor (33/100) for C64700-TD01.
