Copper Alloy CuAg0.07-H01 vs CuAg0.07-H04
Copper Alloy · CuAg0.07 temper comparison
CuAg0.07-H01 and CuAg0.07-H04 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, CuAg0.07: H01 (quarter hard) versus H04 (full hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. CuAg0.07-H04 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 310 MPa (45 ksi) against 215 MPa (31.2 ksi) for CuAg0.07-H01, about 44% more; tensile strength follows at 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) vs 275 MPa (39.9 ksi). In exchange, CuAg0.07-H01 is the more ductile: elongation 25% versus 9% for CuAg0.07-H04, and CuAg0.07-H04 is harder (100 HB vs 70 HB).
CuAg0.07-H01Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
CuAg0.07-H04Choose it when strength drives the design.
CuAg0.07-H01 vs CuAg0.07-H04: 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.

CuAg0.07-H01 vs CuAg0.07-H04 — frequently asked
Is CuAg0.07-H04 stronger than CuAg0.07-H01?
Yes. CuAg0.07-H04 has a typical yield strength of 310 MPa (45 ksi) against 215 MPa (31.2 ksi) for CuAg0.07-H01 — about 44% more. Tensile strength is 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) vs 275 MPa (39.9 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H01 or H04?
H04 is the default CuAg0.07 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. 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 CuAg0.07-H01 over CuAg0.07-H04?
Pick CuAg0.07-H01 when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded. Pick CuAg0.07-H04 when strength drives the design.
