Copper Alloy C99700-M01 vs C99700-M07
Copper Alloy · C99700 temper comparison
C99700-M01 and C99700-M07 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C99700: M01 (as sand cast) versus M07 (as continuous cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C99700-M07 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 290 MPa (42.1 ksi) against 230 MPa (33.4 ksi) for C99700-M01, about 26% more; tensile strength follows at 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi). In exchange, C99700-M01 is the more ductile: elongation 25% versus 15% for C99700-M07, and C99700-M07 is harder (150 HB vs 125 HB).
C99700-M01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C99700-M07Choose it when strength drives the design.
C99700-M01 vs C99700-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.
