Copper Alloy C67000-H02 vs C67000-H04
Copper Alloy · C67000 temper comparison
C67000-H02 and C67000-H04 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C67000: H02 (half hard) versus H04 (full hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C67000-H04 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 379 MPa (55 ksi) for C67000-H02, about 27% more; tensile strength follows at 740 MPa (107 ksi) vs 655 MPa (95 ksi). In exchange, C67000-H02 is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 12% for C67000-H04, and C67000-H04 is harder (210 HB vs 185 HB). C67000-H02 runs hotter in service (200°C vs 175°C continuous).
C67000-H02Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
C67000-H04Choose it when strength drives the design.
C67000-H02 vs C67000-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.

C67000-H02 vs C67000-H04 — frequently asked
Is C67000-H04 stronger than C67000-H02?
Yes. C67000-H04 has a typical yield strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 379 MPa (55 ksi) for C67000-H02 — about 27% more. Tensile strength is 740 MPa (107 ksi) vs 655 MPa (95 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H02 or H04?
H02 is the default C67000 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. 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 welds better, C67000-H02 or C67000-H04?
C67000-H02. Its weldability rates poor (30/100) against poor (25/100) for C67000-H04.
