Beryllium Copper Strips

Beryllium Copper Strips are premium metal strips manufactured from copper-beryllium alloy. This alloy is produced from copper and has great electrical and thermal conductivity while having the added strength, hardness and corrosion resistance of beryllium. Beryllium Copper Strips are acclaimed globally for their excellent mechanical characteristics and that is why they are used in many fields that demand high quality and reliable materials.

Advantages of  Beryllium Copper Strips

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

• High Strength and Hardness: Beryllium Copper Strips are highly strength and hard material, and its strength and hardness can further increase through age hardening. The alloy is stronger than other copper alloys.
• Excellent Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: These have great electrical and thermal conductivity, for electrical and electronic applications such as connectors, switches or conductors.
• Corrosion Resistance: Beryllium improves the Corrosion resistant feature of the alloy for use in harsh environments such as exposure to seawater, chemicals and other aggressive mediums.
• Fatigue Resistance: They have excellent fatigue strengths which enable them to work efficiently in any mechanical loading or vibrating environment.
• Wear Resistance: The material also has good wearing qualities, thus it can be used for products that are exposed to friction such as electrical contacts, springs and mechanical parts of a machine.
• High Temperature Performance: Beryllium Copper Strips have high strength and electrical conductivity at high temperatures and are used in applications where high temperature is an issue such as in engines, turbines and heat exchangers.

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

Common Applications of  Beryllium Copper Strips
