Copper Alloy C97300-M01 vs C97300-M07
Copper Alloy · C97300 temper comparison
C97300-M01 and C97300-M07 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C97300: M01 (as sand cast) versus M07 (as continuous cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C97300-M07 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 138 MPa (20 ksi) against 117 MPa (17 ksi) for C97300-M01, about 18% more; tensile strength follows at 262 MPa (38 ksi) vs 240 MPa (34.8 ksi). In exchange, C97300-M01 is the more ductile: elongation 18% versus 14% for C97300-M07, and C97300-M07 is harder (62 HB vs 55 HB).
C97300-M01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C97300-M07Choose it when strength drives the design.
C97300-M01 vs C97300-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.
