Product Description

Product Description

C17300(CuBe2Pb) LEADED BERYLLIUM COPPER ALLOY INTRODUCTION:

We would like to present our C17300 in TD04 condition production capability, specifically developed to support high-performance RF connectors and precision component applications where consistency, reliability, and defect control are critical.

1. Stable TD04 Production for Demanding Applications
Our TD04 hard temper process is built on tightly controlled production parameters, ensuring stable mechanical strength, hardness, and conductivity across all production batches. This allows us to reliably support high-volume and precision machining requirements with minimal variation.

2. Strict End-to-End Quality Control System
We implement a fully structured quality control system covering raw material incoming inspection, in-process monitoring, and final product release. Key characteristics such as dimensional accuracy, surface integrity, and mechanical properties are controlled under standardized procedures with full traceability for every batch.

3. Controlled Outsourced UT Inspection
Apart from 100% UT testing in-house. UT is also performed by qualified and certified third-party inspection partners. Although outsourced, UT is fully integrated into our internal quality release system. We define inspection standards, approve inspection procedures, and review all results before shipment. This ensures reliable detection of internal defects such as cracks, inclusions, and porosity, meeting the quality expectations of high-reliability applications.

4. High Batch Consistency for Stable Downstream Processing
Through stable process control and disciplined quality management, we achieve excellent batch-to-batch consistency in chemical composition, grain structure, and mechanical performance. This directly improves machining stability, tool life, and final component yield at the customer side.

5. RF Connector-Grade Reliability Positioning
Our TD04 material is already positioned to support demanding RF connector, aerospace-related, and precision engineering applications where defect tolerance is extremely low and consistency is critical for mass production.

We are confident that our combination of stable production, controlled third-party UT inspection, and strict internal quality governance provides a robust and production-ready solution for high-end applications.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS

High strength	Leaded beryllium copper retains the high tensile strength of beryllium copper, making it suitable for demanding applications that require durability and performance under stress.
Good electrcial conductivity	Despite the addition of lead, this alloy maintains excellent electrical  conductivity, which is critical for many electrical  and electronic components.
Improved machinability	The inclusion of lead significantly improves the machinability of the alloy, allowing it to be more easily processed into complex shapes and fine details. This is particularly useful for intricate parts and where precise tolerances are required.
Corrosion resistance	Like other beryllium copper alloys, leaded beryllium copper offers superior resistance to corrosion, ensuring that components made from this material last longer, even in harsh environments such as marine or industrial applications.
Fatigue resistance	This  alloy's high strength and fatigue resistance make it a preferred choice for components that will be subjected to repetitive mechanical stress.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Electrical and eletronics	Leaded beryllium copper is used in the production of electrical connectors, switches, relays, contacts and springs, where both strength and conductivity are needed. The enhanced machinability helps create the precise components required for these applications.
Aerospace	The alloy is used in the aerospace industry for precision components such as springs, connectors, contacts, airframe, engine components and other parts that require high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
Molds and Dies	The improved machinability makes leaded beryllium copper ideal for mold and die applications, particularly in industries like injection molding, die casting , stamping and press tools where precise designs and intricate details are essential.
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:	Industrial equipment requires materials that can handle mechanical stress, wear, and exposure to harsh environments. C17300 beryllium copper is used in a variety of industrial applications, such as: tooling and Dies, bearings and bushings, heat exchangers etc.
Marine and Oil & Gas Industry:	In the marine and oil and gas industries, C17300 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.
Precision Instruments and Tools:	C17300 is also used for manufacturing precision instruments and high-accuracy tools that require durability, wear resistance, and fine machining. Some applications include: Measuring Instruments, Optical instruments, Medical devices etc.
