Copper Alloy C84400 vs C95410
Copper Alloy · grade comparison
Copper Alloy C84400 and C95410 are both copper alloy grades. C95410 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 241 MPa (35 ksi) against 110 MPa (16 ksi) for C84400, about 119% more; tensile strength follows at 586 MPa (85 ksi) vs 234 MPa (33.9 ksi). In exchange, C84400 is the more ductile: elongation 26% versus 13% for C95410, and C95410 is harder (170 HB vs 55 HB). C95410 is lighter (7.45 g/cm³ vs 8.8 g/cm³ for C84400) and C95410 is stiffer (110 GPa vs 95 GPa). On the shop floor, C84400 machines more easily (excellent vs good), C95410 welds better (good vs poor), and C95410 sits in a lower cost tier (high, $$$$) than C84400 (specialty, $$$$$).
C84400Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part is machined in volume.
C95410Choose it when strength drives the design, or when weight is the constraint.
C84400 vs C95410: 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.
