Known globally as Beryllium Copper (CuBe2), C17200 represents the pinnacle of high-performance copper alloys. It is uniquely engineered to provide a rare combination of ultimate tensile strength exceeding 1,400 MPa and high electrical conductivity. For engineers, it is the "Gold Standard" when failure is not an option.
Established in 2017, Sichuan Kepai New Materials Co., Ltd. is a high-tech leader specializing in R&D and production of special copper alloys. With a 29,000 sqm facility, we focus on high-strength alloys like C17200 and innovative oxygen-free tellurium copper, ensuring E-E-A-T compliant quality for 1000+ global clients.
The demand for C17200 properties is currently experiencing a transformative surge. As global industries pivot towards Industry 4.0 and Green Energy, the role of materials that can withstand extreme environments—high temperatures, cryogenic conditions, and corrosive atmospheres—has become paramount.
In aerospace, C17200 is used for landing gear bushings, pitot tubes, and actuator components. Its non-magnetic properties combined with spark resistance make it essential for safety-critical systems.
With deep-sea drilling reaching new depths, the anti-galling and anti-corrosion properties of beryllium copper are vital for drill string components and subsea connectors.
The miniaturization of components requires materials with high fatigue strength for spring contacts and connectors. C17200’s stability ensures signal integrity in high-frequency applications.
C17200 is a precipitation-hardened alloy. Its technical roadmap involves a precise heat treatment process (solution annealing and aging) that precipitates beryllium-rich phases within the copper matrix.
Utilized in MRI scanners and surgical robots. Non-magnetic C17200 ensures no interference with imaging fields while providing high-cycle life for mechanical joints.
Essential for high-voltage connectors and battery terminal contacts. C17200 prevents stress relaxation under heat, ensuring long-term contact pressure.
Used in desalination plants and underwater sensors due to its inherent resistance to biofouling and seawater corrosion.
Kepai boasts a dedicated team focused on innovative product development, including our signature Highly Conductive Oxygen-Free Tellurium Copper, which complements our beryllium copper offerings.
Our facility is ISO9001:2015, ISO14001:2015, and OHSAS 45001:2018 certified, reflecting our commitment to global quality standards and occupational health.
We leverage green manufacturing processes to reduce environmental impact, producing eco-friendly free-cutting alloys for a sustainable future.
C17200 offers the highest strength of any copper-based alloy. It bridges the gap between the high conductivity of copper and the mechanical toughness of steel, making it ideal for springs, pressure sensors, and heavy-duty bushings.
Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for chemical composition, tensile strength, and electrical conductivity. We provide full material traceability and MTCs (Material Test Certificates) according to ASTM and international standards.
Yes, C17200 maintains its structural integrity and resists softening at temperatures where many other high-strength alloys would lose their temper. However, for continuous operation above 300°C, we recommend consulting our technical team for specific aging treatments.
Yes, we offer C17200 in various forms, including high-elastic foils, rods, tubes, and custom-machined components to meet specific engineering requirements.
Kepai has established a dominant presence in domestic and international markets, exporting to North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia with a reputation for consistency and technical expertise.
Our technical experts are ready to assist you with customized C17200 solutions tailored to your unique application requirements.
