Copper Alloy C82510-M01 vs C82510-TB00

Copper Alloy · C82510 temper comparison

C82510-M01 and C82510-TB00 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C82510: M01 (as sand cast) versus TB00 (solution heat treated). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C82510-M01 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 275 MPa (39.9 ksi) against 205 MPa (29.7 ksi) for C82510-TB00, about 34% more; tensile strength follows at 515 MPa (74.7 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi). In exchange, C82510-TB00 is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 15% for C82510-M01, and C82510-M01 is harder (170 HB vs 140 HB). C82510-M01 conducts heat better (95 W/m·K vs 80 W/m·K). On the shop floor, C82510-TB00 welds better (good vs fair).

C82510-M01 vs C82510-TB00 — frequently asked

Is C82510-M01 stronger than C82510-TB00?

Yes. C82510-M01 has a typical yield strength of 275 MPa (39.9 ksi) against 205 MPa (29.7 ksi) for C82510-TB00 — about 34% more. Tensile strength is 515 MPa (74.7 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi).

Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, M01 or TB00?

TF00 is the default C82510 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither M01 nor TB00). 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, C82510-M01 or C82510-TB00?

C82510-M01, by a small margin. Both rate fair for machinability — 42/100 against 35/100 for C82510-TB00; for welding the order is C82510-TB00 first (good, 55/100) then C82510-M01 (fair, 45/100).
