Copper Alloy C92800-M01 vs C92800-M03
Copper Alloy · C92800 temper comparison
C92800-M01 and C92800-M03 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C92800: M01 (as sand cast) versus M03 (as chill cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C92800-M03 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 200 MPa (29 ksi) against 179 MPa (26 ksi) for C92800-M01, about 12% more; tensile strength follows at 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) vs 276 MPa (40 ksi). C92800-M03 is harder — 95 HB against 85 HB for C92800-M01 — which matters for wear surfaces and threads.
C92800-M03Choose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
C92800-M01 vs C92800-M03: 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.
