Copper Alloy C67400-M20 vs C67400-O60
Copper Alloy · C67400 temper comparison
C67400-M20 and C67400-O60 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C67400: M20 (as hot rolled) versus O60 (soft annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C67400-M20 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 305 MPa (44.2 ksi) against 260 MPa (37.7 ksi) for C67400-O60, about 17% more; tensile strength follows at 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 585 MPa (84.8 ksi). In exchange, C67400-O60 is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 24% for C67400-M20, and C67400-M20 is harder (170 HB vs 150 HB).
C67400-M20Choose it when strength drives the design.
C67400-O60Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C67400-M20 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-M20 vs C67400-O60 — frequently asked
Is C67400-M20 stronger than C67400-O60?
Yes. C67400-M20 has a typical yield strength of 305 MPa (44.2 ksi) against 260 MPa (37.7 ksi) for C67400-O60 — about 17% more. Tensile strength is 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 585 MPa (84.8 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, M20 or O60?
M30 is the default C67400 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither M20 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.
When should I choose C67400-M20 over C67400-O60?
Pick C67400-M20 when strength drives the design. Pick C67400-O60 when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
