Copper Alloy CC752S vs CC753S
Copper Alloy · grade comparison
Copper Alloy CC752S and CC753S are both copper alloy grades. CC753S is the stronger of the two: yield strength 150 MPa (21.8 ksi) against 110 MPa (16 ksi) for CC752S, about 36% more; tensile strength follows at 320 MPa (46.4 ksi) vs 280 MPa (40.6 ksi). CC753S is the more ductile: elongation 18% versus 15% for CC752S, and CC753S is harder (80 HB vs 75 HB). CC752S conducts heat better (115 W/m·K vs 100 W/m·K). On the shop floor, CC753S sits in a lower cost tier (premium, $$$) than CC752S (high, $$$$).
CC753SChoose it when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
CC752S vs CC753S: 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.

CC752S vs CC753S — frequently asked
Is CC753S stronger than CC752S?
Yes. CC753S has a typical yield strength of 150 MPa (21.8 ksi) against 110 MPa (16 ksi) for CC752S — about 36% more. Tensile strength is 320 MPa (46.4 ksi) vs 280 MPa (40.6 ksi).
Which is cheaper, CC752S or CC753S?
CC753S is the lower-cost material: it sits in the premium tier ($$$) while CC752S is high ($$$$). Part price depends far more on geometry, tolerance and quantity than on raw stock — upload a CAD file for a live quote.
When should I choose CC752S over CC753S?
Pick CC753S when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
