Copper Alloy CC764S-GZ vs CC764S-SR
Copper Alloy · CC764S temper comparison
CC764S-GZ and CC764S-SR are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, CC764S: GZ (centrifugally cast) versus SR (stress relieved). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. CC764S-GZ is the stronger of the two: yield strength 470 MPa (68.2 ksi) against 370 MPa (53.7 ksi) for CC764S-SR, about 27% more; tensile strength follows at 780 MPa (113 ksi) vs 660 MPa (95.7 ksi). In exchange, CC764S-SR is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 14% for CC764S-GZ, and CC764S-GZ is harder (190 HB vs 165 HB).
CC764S-GZChoose it when strength drives the design.
CC764S-SRChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
CC764S-GZ vs CC764S-SR: 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.

CC764S-GZ vs CC764S-SR — frequently asked
Is CC764S-GZ stronger than CC764S-SR?
Yes. CC764S-GZ has a typical yield strength of 470 MPa (68.2 ksi) against 370 MPa (53.7 ksi) for CC764S-SR — about 27% more. Tensile strength is 780 MPa (113 ksi) vs 660 MPa (95.7 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, GZ or SR?
GS is the default CC764S condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither GZ nor SR). 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 CC764S-GZ over CC764S-SR?
Pick CC764S-GZ when strength drives the design. Pick CC764S-SR when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
