Copper Alloy C96700-M01 vs C96700-TB00
Copper Alloy · C96700 temper comparison
C96700-M01 and C96700-TB00 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C96700: M01 (as sand cast) versus TB00 (solution heat treated). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C96700-M01 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 275 MPa (39.9 ksi) against 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) for C96700-TB00, about 15% more. In exchange, C96700-TB00 is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 10% for C96700-M01, and C96700-M01 is harder (150 HB vs 120 HB). C96700-M01 runs hotter in service (200°C vs 150°C continuous) and C96700-M01 conducts heat better (29 W/m·K vs 26 W/m·K).
C96700-M01Choose it when strength drives the design, or when the part sees heat.
C96700-TB00Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C96700-M01 vs C96700-TB00: 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.

C96700-M01 vs C96700-TB00 — frequently asked
Is C96700-M01 stronger than C96700-TB00?
Yes. C96700-M01 has a typical yield strength of 275 MPa (39.9 ksi) against 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) for C96700-TB00 — about 15% more. Tensile strength is 450 MPa (65.3 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, M01 or TB00?
TF00 is the default C96700 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither M01 nor TB00). The other condition is available on request or by drawing note — specify it in the material field or the part notes and the quote is priced for it.
Which is easier to machine, C96700-M01 or C96700-TB00?
C96700-TB00. Its machinability rates fair (38/100) against poor (32/100) for C96700-M01; for welding the order is C96700-TB00 first (fair, 45/100) then C96700-M01 (fair, 40/100).
