Copper Alloy C75700-H02 vs C75700-H10
Copper Alloy · C75700 temper comparison
C75700-H02 and C75700-H10 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C75700: H02 (half hard) versus H10 (extra spring hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C75700-H10 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 660 MPa (95.7 ksi) against 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) for C75700-H02, about 57% more; tensile strength follows at 710 MPa (103 ksi) vs 496 MPa (71.9 ksi). In exchange, C75700-H02 is the more ductile: elongation 10% versus 2% for C75700-H10, and C75700-H10 is harder (208 HB vs 135 HB). C75700-H02 runs hotter in service (200°C vs 175°C continuous).
C75700-H02Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
C75700-H10Choose it when strength drives the design.
C75700-H02 vs C75700-H10: 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.

C75700-H02 vs C75700-H10 — frequently asked
Is C75700-H10 stronger than C75700-H02?
Yes. C75700-H10 has a typical yield strength of 660 MPa (95.7 ksi) against 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) for C75700-H02 — about 57% more. Tensile strength is 710 MPa (103 ksi) vs 496 MPa (71.9 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H02 or H10?
H02 is the default C75700 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. 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, C75700-H02 or C75700-H10?
C75700-H10. Its machinability rates fair (38/100) against poor (30/100) for C75700-H02; for welding the order is C75700-H02 first (fair, 40/100) then C75700-H10 (poor, 33/100).
