Copper Alloy C71900-TD01 vs C71900-TH01
Copper Alloy · C71900 temper comparison
C71900-TD01 and C71900-TH01 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C71900: TD01 (solution heat treated and cold worked, quarter hard) versus TH01 (TD01 and precipitation hardened). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C71900-TH01 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 720 MPa (104 ksi) against 400 MPa (58 ksi) for C71900-TD01, about 80% more; tensile strength follows at 830 MPa (120 ksi) vs 560 MPa (81.2 ksi). In exchange, C71900-TD01 is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 10% for C71900-TH01, and C71900-TH01 is harder (258 HB vs 160 HB). C71900-TH01 runs hotter in service (300°C vs 260°C continuous) and C71900-TH01 conducts heat better (33 W/m·K vs 28 W/m·K). On the shop floor, C71900-TD01 welds better (good vs fair).
C71900-TD01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when it will be welded.
C71900-TH01Choose it when strength drives the design, or when the part sees heat.
C71900-TD01 vs C71900-TH01: 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.

C71900-TD01 vs C71900-TH01 — frequently asked
Is C71900-TH01 stronger than C71900-TD01?
Yes. C71900-TH01 has a typical yield strength of 720 MPa (104 ksi) against 400 MPa (58 ksi) for C71900-TD01 — about 80% more. Tensile strength is 830 MPa (120 ksi) vs 560 MPa (81.2 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, TD01 or TH01?
TF00 is the default C71900 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither TD01 nor TH01). 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, C71900-TD01 or C71900-TH01?
C71900-TD01. Its weldability rates good (55/100) against fair (42/100) for C71900-TH01.
