Copper Alloy C90800-M01 vs C90800-M07

Copper Alloy · C90800 temper comparison

C90800-M01 and C90800-M07 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C90800: M01 (as sand cast) versus M07 (as continuous cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C90800-M07 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 180 MPa (26.1 ksi) against 152 MPa (22 ksi) for C90800-M01, about 18% more; tensile strength follows at 345 MPa (50 ksi) vs 303 MPa (43.9 ksi). C90800-M07 is the more ductile: elongation 6% versus 5% for C90800-M01, and C90800-M07 is harder (90 HB vs 80 HB).

C90800-M07Choose it when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
