Beryllium Copper C172 Sheet

The chemical formula for beryllium copper is becu and it is also known as spring copper beryllium bronze and copper beryllium.

Beryllium copper c172 sheet.

C17200 beryllium copper is an excellent material for a number of applications. Beryllium copper our beryllium copper stock is available in various specialty alloys with full sizes available. Copper beryllium alloy low magnetic effect for special purpose tools and equipment sae. Commonly stocked beryllium copper.

Additionally 173 has slightly superior corrosion resistance to 172. Copper beryllium alloy rod and bar. Applications are in springs connectors switches and automotive parts. The main difference is that 173 contains a small amount of lead.

The beryllium copper we stock are all cold worked metals. No cut fees no minimums and fast delivery nationwide. 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. Mead metals carries alloy 172 beryllium copper in annealed quarter hard and half hard tempers from 0 003 to 0 060.

Full hard and mill hardened tempers are stocked on a limited basis. Get a fast quote. Alloys are used in a wide range of applications requiring very high strength and stiffness with good conductivity. Wrought and cast copper alloys.

Inventories c17200 beryllium copper. As such 173 is easier to machine. These are both useful though more specialized metals. Copper beryllium alloy plate sheet strip and rolled bar.
