Beryllium Copper Fasteners

Beryllium Copper Fasteners are products that are used for fastening and are made from copper with beryllium content of between 0.4% and 2%. This alloy possesses excellent mechanical characteristics such as high strength, electrical conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance and thus it is well suited for applications where high stress and durability is the norm. Beryllium Copper Fasteners like bolt, nut, screw, washer, rivets are used in aerospace, electronics, automotive, manufacturing industries etc. 

Advantages of Beryllium Copper Fasteners

These flexible Beryllium Copper Fasteners offer numerous benefits for industrial applications.

• High Strength: Beryllium Copper is highly valued for its strength which can be matched to that of steel. This makes Beryllium Copper Fasteners ideal for use in systems that require tight fastening where mechanical load is applied.
• Excellent Electrical Conductivity: Beryllium Copper possesses very high strength and at the same time it has good electrical conductivity in these fasteners and therefore they are used in electrical connectors, relays and other electric systems that require good electrical conductivity.
• Corrosion Resistance: Beryllium Copper is also immune to the corrosive effects of such environments as marine, chemical, and industrial.
• Fatigue Resistance: Fatigue resistance is an important feature when it comes to cyclic loading and mechanical stressing, such as electrical contacts and precision machinery.
• Thermal Conductivity: Beryllium Copper Fasteners provide high thermal conductivity that is important in cooling systems in high performance devices.
• Non-Sparking:  Beryllium Copper Fasteners is non-sparking, which is why they can be used in explosive or flammable environments, such as in oil rigs, mining or gas handling systems.
• Machinability: Beryllium Copper can be easily machined, and therefore ideal for creating unique fasteners. These fasteners can be fine tuned to fit the requirements of a certain application and thus can be very reliable and safe.

Beryllium Copper Fasteners offers several advantages that make it suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
