Copper Alloy CC767S-GC vs CC767S-GZ
Copper Alloy · CC767S temper comparison
CC767S-GC and CC767S-GZ are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, CC767S: GC (continuously cast bar / tube) versus GZ (centrifugally cast). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. CC767S-GC is the stronger of the two: yield strength 200 MPa (29 ksi) against 190 MPa (27.6 ksi) for CC767S-GZ, about 5% more. CC767S-GC is harder — 58 HRB against 55 HRB for CC767S-GZ — which matters for wear surfaces and threads.
CC767S-GCChoose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
CC767S-GC vs CC767S-GZ: 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.

CC767S-GC vs CC767S-GZ — frequently asked
Is CC767S-GC stronger than CC767S-GZ?
Yes. CC767S-GC has a typical yield strength of 200 MPa (29 ksi) against 190 MPa (27.6 ksi) for CC767S-GZ — about 5% more. Tensile strength is 460 MPa (66.7 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, GC or GZ?
GS is the default CC767S condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither GC nor GZ). 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 CC767S-GC over CC767S-GZ?
Pick CC767S-GC when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
