What is Beryllium Copper?
Beryllium copper is a high-performance copper-based alloy containing 1.8-2% beryllium, strengthened by age precipitation. It offers exceptional strength approaching that of medium-strength steel, combined with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.
What makes C17200 Beryllium Copper unique?
C17200 Beryllium Copper provides the highest strength among all available copper-beryllium alloys. It can achieve an ultimate tensile strength exceeding 200 ksi (1380 MPa), hardness close to HRC 45, and maintains a minimum electrical conductivity of 22% IACS.
In what product forms is C17200 Beryllium Copper available?
This versatile material is supplied in a wide range of industrial forms, including strips, rods, tubes, wires, bars, plates, forgings, and extrusions to suit diverse manufacturing requirements.
What are the primary applications of C17200 Beryllium Copper?
Due to its unique combination of strength and conductivity, it is widely used in oil and gas drilling components, aerospace bushings, automotive connectors, and computer processor socket contacts.
What is the typical chemical composition of C17200?
It typically consists of 1.8% to 2.0% Beryllium (Be), with trace amounts of Silicon (Si) and Aluminum (Al) capped at 0.2% max. The remainder is Copper (Cu), including small additions of Nickel, Cobalt, and Iron.
