Copper Alloy C67000-H04 vs C67000-M20
Copper Alloy · C67000 temper comparison
C67000-H04 and C67000-M20 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C67000: H04 (full hard) versus M20 (as hot rolled). 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 310 MPa (45 ksi) for C67000-M20, about 55% more; tensile strength follows at 740 MPa (107 ksi) vs 600 MPa (87 ksi). In exchange, C67000-M20 is the more ductile: elongation 26% versus 12% for C67000-H04, and C67000-H04 is harder (210 HB vs 160 HB). C67000-M20 runs hotter in service (200°C vs 175°C continuous).
C67000-H04Choose it when strength drives the design.
C67000-M20Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
C67000-H04 vs C67000-M20: 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-H04 vs C67000-M20 — frequently asked
Is C67000-H04 stronger than C67000-M20?
Yes. C67000-H04 has a typical yield strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for C67000-M20 — about 55% more. Tensile strength is 740 MPa (107 ksi) vs 600 MPa (87 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H04 or M20?
H02 is the default C67000 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H04 nor M20). 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, C67000-H04 or C67000-M20?
C67000-H04. Its machinability rates fair (35/100) against poor (30/100) for C67000-M20; for welding the order is C67000-M20 first (poor, 30/100) then C67000-H04 (poor, 25/100).
