Beryllium Copper C17500 Bars

Beryllium Copper Alloy C17500 Bars are composed of alloyed beryllium and copper, as well as other trace elements such as cobalt, iron, nickel, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and silicon. This particular combination of metals results in a high strength and various favorable physical properties that are desired for heavy-duty applications and equipment. Beryllium Copper Alloy C17500 Bars offer enhanced resistance to stress corrosion cracking as well as excellent electrical conductivity. They also provide outstanding thermal and oxidation resistance under extreme temperatures. With its low manufacturing costs, this alloy offers many advantages over pure copper or other copper alloys.

C17500 Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars are known for their outstanding strength, toughness, spring properties, and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. Commonly used in applications such as transmission components, non-sparking tools, and electrical connectors, these bars offer excellent machinability due to their high levels of beryllium and copper content. As a result of the combination of chemical elements, Beryllium Copper Alloy C17500 bars can withstand up to 300°C approximately in different oxidation atmospheres. An additional benefit is that they resist thermal fatigue and sulfide stress corrosion cracking better than 316 stainless steel in applications such as chemical plants, gas processing fields, and oil refineries. For these reasons, Beryllium Copper Alloy C17500 Bars prove to be a great choice when strength, spring properties, and corrosion resistance are needed.
