Copper Alloy C91100-M01 vs C91100-M07
Copper Alloy · C91100 temper comparison
C91100-M01 and C91100-M07 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C91100: M01 (as sand cast) versus M07 (as continuous cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C91100-M07 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 193 MPa (28 ksi) against 172 MPa (24.9 ksi) for C91100-M01, about 12% more; tensile strength follows at 275 MPa (39.9 ksi) vs 241 MPa (35 ksi). C91100-M07 is harder — 145 HB against 135 HB for C91100-M01 — which matters for wear surfaces and threads.
C91100-M07Choose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
C91100-M01 vs C91100-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.
