Copper Alloy CC330G-ANN vs CC330G-GC
Copper Alloy · CC330G temper comparison
CC330G-ANN and CC330G-GC are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, CC330G: ANN (annealed) versus GC (continuously cast bar/tube). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. CC330G-GC is the stronger of the two: yield strength 215 MPa (31.2 ksi) against 185 MPa (26.8 ksi) for CC330G-ANN, about 16% more; tensile strength follows at 540 MPa (78.3 ksi) vs 480 MPa (69.6 ksi). In exchange, CC330G-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 25% for CC330G-GC, and CC330G-GC is harder (115 HB vs 100 HB).
CC330G-ANNChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
CC330G-GCChoose it when strength drives the design.
CC330G-ANN vs CC330G-GC: 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.

CC330G-ANN vs CC330G-GC — frequently asked
Is CC330G-GC stronger than CC330G-ANN?
Yes. CC330G-GC has a typical yield strength of 215 MPa (31.2 ksi) against 185 MPa (26.8 ksi) for CC330G-ANN — about 16% more. Tensile strength is 540 MPa (78.3 ksi) vs 480 MPa (69.6 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or GC?
GS is the default CC330G condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither ANN nor GC). 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.
When should I choose CC330G-ANN over CC330G-GC?
Pick CC330G-ANN when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded. Pick CC330G-GC when strength drives the design.
