Precious Metal Coin Silver 900-H01 vs Coin Silver 900-O
Precious Metal · Coin Silver 900 temper comparison
Coin Silver 900-H01 and Coin Silver 900-O are two conditions of the same precious metal grade, Coin Silver 900: H01 (quarter hard) versus O (annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Coin Silver 900-H01 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 225 MPa (32.6 ksi) against 100 MPa (14.5 ksi) for Coin Silver 900-O, about 125% more; tensile strength follows at 345 MPa (50 ksi) vs 290 MPa (42.1 ksi). In exchange, Coin Silver 900-O is the more ductile: elongation 40% versus 20% for Coin Silver 900-H01, and Coin Silver 900-H01 is harder (90 HB vs 66 HB).

Coin Silver 900-H01 vs Coin Silver 900-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.
