Copper Alloy C95600-M01 vs C95600-M02
Copper Alloy · C95600 temper comparison
C95600-M01 and C95600-M02 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C95600: M01 (as sand cast) versus M02 (as centrifugally cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C95600-M02 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 207 MPa (30 ksi) against 193 MPa (28 ksi) for C95600-M01, about 7% more; tensile strength follows at 448 MPa (65 ksi) vs 414 MPa (60 ksi). In exchange, C95600-M01 is the more ductile: elongation 18% versus 16% for C95600-M02.
C95600-M01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C95600-M02Choose it when strength drives the design.
C95600-M01 vs C95600-M02: 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.
