Precious Metal 90Ag-10Ni-H01 vs 90Ag-10Ni-O
Precious Metal · 90Ag-10Ni temper comparison
90Ag-10Ni-H01 and 90Ag-10Ni-O are two conditions of the same precious metal grade, 90Ag-10Ni: H01 (quarter hard) versus O (annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 90Ag-10Ni-H01 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 200 MPa (29 ksi) against 75 MPa (10.9 ksi) for 90Ag-10Ni-O, about 167% more; tensile strength follows at 275 MPa (39.9 ksi) vs 235 MPa (34.1 ksi). In exchange, 90Ag-10Ni-O is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 12% for 90Ag-10Ni-H01, and 90Ag-10Ni-H01 is harder (67 HB vs 50 HB).

90Ag-10Ni-H01 vs 90Ag-10Ni-O: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all precious metal 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.

90Ag-10Ni-H01 vs 90Ag-10Ni-O — frequently asked
Is 90Ag-10Ni-H01 stronger than 90Ag-10Ni-O?
Yes. 90Ag-10Ni-H01 has a typical yield strength of 200 MPa (29 ksi) against 75 MPa (10.9 ksi) for 90Ag-10Ni-O — about 167% more. Tensile strength is 275 MPa (39.9 ksi) vs 235 MPa (34.1 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H01 or O?
O is the default 90Ag-10Ni 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.
Which is easier to machine, 90Ag-10Ni-H01 or 90Ag-10Ni-O?
90Ag-10Ni-H01, by a small margin. Both rate fair for machinability — 50/100 against 45/100 for 90Ag-10Ni-O.
