Beryllium Copper C172 Sheet

Alloys are used in a wide range of applications requiring very high strength and stiffness with good conductivity.

Beryllium copper c172 sheet.

The beryllium copper we stock are all cold worked metals. Copper beryllium alloy plate sheet strip and rolled bar. Special heat treating of the wire at the mill produces a mill hardened hm tempered beryllium copper wire which can then be formed and used without additional heat treatment. The ultimate tensile strength can exceed 200 ksi while the hardness approaches rockwell c45.

172 beryllium copper is very similar to 173. Applications are in springs connectors switches and automotive parts. Beryllium copper alloys combine formability with very high strength properties when aged. No cut fees no minimums and fast delivery nationwide.

Beryllium copper combines high strength with non magnetic and non sparking. The chemical formula for beryllium copper is becu and it is also known as spring copper beryllium bronze and copper beryllium. As such 173 is easier to machine. 17410 17460 and 17510 are also obtainable.

Inventories c17200 beryllium copper. Wrought and cast copper alloys. Full hard and mill hardened tempers are stocked on a limited basis. Copper beryllium alloy rod and bar.

This alloy also has great galling resisitance. Buy online or contact us for a quote. C17200 beryllium copper is an excellent material for a number of applications. It also meets astm b194 specifications.

Copper alloy c17200 is the most commonly specified copper beryllium alloy. In its age hardened condition it attains the highest strength and hardness of any commercial copper base alloy. C17200 also has siginificant non corrosive properties when exposed to harsh conditions. Beryllium copper c172 sheet is in big demand today and one of the reasons for this is that at elevated temperatures it shows a great deal of resistance to stress relaxation.

Copper beryllium alloy low magnetic effect for special purpose tools and equipment sae.

C172 has excellent bearing properties with extremly high compressive strengths. Additionally 173 has slightly superior corrosion resistance to 172.

Wrought copper and copper alloys. These are both useful though more specialized metals. Beryllium copper our beryllium copper stock is available in various specialty alloys with full sizes available. Mead metals carries alloy 172 beryllium copper in annealed quarter hard and half hard tempers from 0 003 to 0 060.

C172 beryllium copper is available in ductile heat treatable tempers and in mill hardened tempers. The main difference is that 173 contains a small amount of lead.
