Product Description

High-Performance Beryllium Copper Alloy

Beryllium copper is a copper-based alloy material without tin, with beryllium as the main element. It is a type of copper alloy that is strengthened by age precipitation. It contains 1.8-2% beryllium and small amounts of nickel, chromium, titanium and other elements. After quenching and aging treatment, its strength can reach 1250-1500MPa, approaching the level of medium-strength steel.

C17200 BERYLLIUM COPPER Details

C17200 BERYLLIUM COPPER provides the highest strength of all available copper-beryllium alloys. It has electrical and thermal conductivity considerably greater than other high-strength copper alloys with an ultimate tensile strength that can exceed 200 ksi (1380 MPa), hardness approaching HRC 45, and a minimum electrical conductivity of 22% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard).

This versatile material is available in several forms including strip, rod, tube, wire, bar, plate, forging and extrusion. It is widely used in critical applications ranging from oil and gas drilling components to aerospace bushings, automotive connectors, and computer processor socket contacts.
