Copper Alloy C90700-M01 vs C90700-M07
Copper Alloy · C90700 temper comparison
C90700-M01 and C90700-M07 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C90700: M01 (as sand cast) versus M07 (as continuous cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C90700-M07 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 205 MPa (29.7 ksi) against 152 MPa (22 ksi) for C90700-M01, about 35% more; tensile strength follows at 345 MPa (50 ksi) vs 305 MPa (44.2 ksi). In exchange, C90700-M01 is the more ductile: elongation 12% versus 9% for C90700-M07, and C90700-M07 is harder (100 HB vs 80 HB).
C90700-M01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C90700-M07Choose it when strength drives the design.
C90700-M01 vs C90700-M07: 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.
