Copper Alloy C69710-H01 vs C69710-H04
Copper Alloy · C69710 temper comparison
C69710-H01 and C69710-H04 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C69710: H01 (quarter hard) versus H04 (full hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C69710-H04 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) for C69710-H01, about 60% more; tensile strength follows at 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 500 MPa (72.5 ksi). In exchange, C69710-H01 is the more ductile: elongation 18% versus 8% for C69710-H04, and C69710-H04 is harder (185 HB vs 140 HB). C69710-H01 runs hotter in service (180°C vs 150°C continuous).
C69710-H01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
C69710-H04Choose it when strength drives the design.
C69710-H01 vs C69710-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.

C69710-H01 vs C69710-H04 — frequently asked
Is C69710-H04 stronger than C69710-H01?
Yes. C69710-H04 has a typical yield strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) for C69710-H01 — about 60% more. Tensile strength is 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 500 MPa (72.5 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H01 or H04?
M30 is the default C69710 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H01 nor H04). 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, C69710-H01 or C69710-H04?
C69710-H01. Its weldability rates fair (35/100) against poor (30/100) for C69710-H04.
