Copper Alloy C93200 vs C93600
Copper Alloy · grade comparison
Copper Alloy C93200 and C93600 are both copper alloy grades, both bearing cu alloy. C93200 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 125 MPa (18.1 ksi) against 110 MPa (16 ksi) for C93600, about 14% more; tensile strength follows at 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) vs 207 MPa (30 ksi). C93200 is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 15% for C93600, and C93200 is harder (65 HB vs 60 HB). C93200 is stiffer (100 GPa vs 76 GPa) and C93200 conducts heat better (59 W/m·K vs 47 W/m·K). On the shop floor, C93200 sits in a lower cost tier (premium, $$$) than C93600 (specialty, $$$$$).
C93200Choose it when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C93200 vs C93600: 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.
