Copper Alloy C86200-M01 vs C86200-M02
Copper Alloy · C86200 temper comparison
C86200-M01 and C86200-M02 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C86200: M01 (as sand cast) versus M02 (as centrifugally cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 340 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (as sand cast versus as centrifugally cast). C86200-M01 is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 18% for C86200-M02, and C86200-M02 is harder (190 HB vs 180 HB).
C86200-M01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C86200-M01 vs C86200-M02: 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.

C86200-M01 vs C86200-M02 — frequently asked
What is the difference between C86200-M01 and C86200-M02?
C86200-M01 and C86200-M02 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C86200: M01 (as sand cast) versus M02 (as centrifugally cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 340 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (as sand cast versus as centrifugally cast).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, M01 or M02?
M01 is the default C86200 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.
When should I choose C86200-M01 over C86200-M02?
Pick C86200-M01 when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
