Copper Alloy C67400-H02 vs C67400-O60
Copper Alloy · C67400 temper comparison
C67400-H02 and C67400-O60 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C67400: H02 (half hard) versus O60 (soft annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C67400-H02 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 450 MPa (65.3 ksi) against 260 MPa (37.7 ksi) for C67400-O60, about 73% more; tensile strength follows at 725 MPa (105 ksi) vs 585 MPa (84.8 ksi). In exchange, C67400-O60 is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 15% for C67400-H02, and C67400-H02 is harder (200 HB vs 150 HB).
C67400-H02Choose it when strength drives the design.
C67400-O60Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C67400-H02 vs C67400-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.

C67400-H02 vs C67400-O60 — frequently asked
Is C67400-H02 stronger than C67400-O60?
Yes. C67400-H02 has a typical yield strength of 450 MPa (65.3 ksi) against 260 MPa (37.7 ksi) for C67400-O60 — about 73% more. Tensile strength is 725 MPa (105 ksi) vs 585 MPa (84.8 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H02 or O60?
M30 is the default C67400 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H02 nor O60). 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, C67400-H02 or C67400-O60?
C67400-H02, by a small margin. Both rate poor for machinability — 32/100 against 25/100 for C67400-O60.
