Product Description

C17200(BeCu, Alloy 25)BERYLLIUM COPPER ALLOY INTRODUCTION:

C17200 Beryllium Copper is a high-strength, high-performance alloy primarily composed of copper and beryllium. This alloy, also known as Alloy 25, is one of the most widely used beryllium copper alloys in various industries, particularly aerospace, automotive, and electrical applications. C17200 is specifically known for its remarkable strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance while maintaining good electrical conductivity. This makes it ideal for a variety of demanding applications where both mechanical properties and conductivity are crucial.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS

High strength & hardness	One of the most notable features of C17200 is its exceptional tensile strength and hardness After appropriate heat treatment , C17200 can achieve a tensile strength of up to 1,400MPa(200,000PSI), which is significantly  higher than that of most copper alloys. The  hardness of C17200 can reach Rockwell HRC45, which  allows it to withstand significant wear and mechanical stress.
Electrical conductivity	Despite its high strength, C17200 still maintains good electrical conductivity, which is one of the key advantages of copper alloys. The electrical conductivity of C17200 is approximately 20-25% IACS, making it suitable for electrical components such as connectors and relays, where both strength and conductivity are needed.
Corrosion resistance	C17200 offers excellent corrosion resistance in both atmospheric and industrial environments. The alloy is resistant to many corrosive agents, including water, air, and chemicals. This corrosion resistance, combined with its mechanical proterties, makes C17200 ideal for applications exposed to harsh conditions.
Wear resistance	C17200 beryllium copper also has high wear resistance, which is a crucial characteristic for parts that experience constant friction or sliding contact. This quality makes it suitable for applications such as bearings, electrical contacts, and other mechanical components subject to frequent wear.
Non-sparking property	C17200 beryllium copper is classified as a non-sparking material, meaning it does not generate sparks when struck against hard  surfaces. This makes it particularly  valuable in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are present. such as in oil refineries, chemical plants, and mining operations. Tools and components made from C17200 are widely used in these industries to ensure safety  while maintaining high strength and durability.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Aerospace	C17200  is used in manufacturing components such as connectors,fasteners, and springs that must withstand high stress and environmental factors. The alloy's resistance to fatigue and high tensile strength are critical in ensuring  the reliability and durability of aerospace  parts.   C17200's ability to maintain its properties at both high and low temperatures makes it ideal for use in satellite equipment whefe temperature extreme are common.
Electrcial and electronics	C17200  is used in manufacturing of electrical connectors that require both mechanical strength and conductivity. It is used in connectors for aerospace, automotive , and telecommunications industries. Its excellent electrical conductivity and strength make C17200  ideal for manufacturing relay contacts, switches, and other components that are exposed to repetitive electrical currents and mechanical stress.  This alloy is also used in the production of precision electrical springs, which are often found in devices that require repeated flexing or movement.
Tooling and molds	C17200 is used in the manufacture of molds for plastic injection molding, where high thermal conductivity and wear resistance are important. The alloy's high strength ensure that molds can withstand high pressures and temperatures without deformation. This alloy is also used in tools and dies for casting because it can endure high mechanical  stress and temperature extremes.
Automotive	Leaded beryllium copper is also used in automotive applications, including electrical contacts, connectors, sensors, switches, relays and other parts, where the combination of strength and conductivity is necessary.
Industrial and Heavy Equipment:	C17200 is used in various industrial applications that require components to perform under extreme conditions.   Parts such as bearings, bushings, and other components that are exposed to high machenical loads and friction often use C17200 because of its high wear resistance and fatigue strength.  Its thermal conductivity makes C17200 suitable for use in heat exchangers where  efficient heat transfer is essential.
Marine and Oil & Gas Industry:	In the marine and oil and gas industries, C17200 is used for components exposed to harsh conditions, including saltwater, high pressure, and extreme temperatures. Key applications include: Marine Connectors, Seals and fasteners, oil rig components etc.
Aerospace Components	C17200 is widely used in the aerospace industry for critical components such as landing gear bushings, bearings, connectors, and fasteners. Its combination of high strength, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability under extreme conditions makes it suitable for aerospace applications where both reliability and performance are essential.
