C17200 BERYLLIUM COPPER

Product catalog summary
Overview of C17200 Beryllium Copper:
C17200 Beryllium Copper is an age-hardened alloy known for its high strength and toughness, suitable for various industrial applications. Its properties can be modified through age-hardening, which involves controlling time, temperature, and cold work.

Typical Uses:
  • Oil & Gas: Used in directional drilling equipment, pressure housings, and various components like bearings and bushings.
  • Aerospace: Applied in landing gear components and cryogenic applications.
  • Automotive: Utilized in tooling, molds, and engine components.
  • Electrical: Used in contact bridges, connectors, and relay parts.
  • Fasteners and Other Industrial Uses: Includes bolts, screws, and non-sparking safety tools.

Available Sizes:
Solid bars, rectangular and square bars, plates, discs, rings, and honed tubes are available in various dimensions.

Specifications:
Complies with ASTM B-196, ASTM B-194, ASTM B-643, and other standards.

Chemical Composition:
Primarily composed of copper, with beryllium, cobalt, and other elements.

Mechanical and Physical Properties:
  • Tensile Strength: Varies with temper and size, ranging from 60 Ksi to 180 Ksi.
  • Hardness: Rockwell hardness varies from 36-45 Rc depending on treatment.
  • Thermal Properties: Melting point ranges from 1590°F to 1800°F, with a thermal conductivity of 62 Btu/sq ft/ft hr/°F.
  • Electrical Conductivity: 22% IACS at 68°F.

Special Properties:
  • Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to harsh environments, including sea water and down-hole conditions.
  • Anti-Galling: High resistance to galling under pressure and temperature.
  • Non-Magnetic: Low magnetic permeability, suitable for applications requiring non-magnetization.
  • Temperature Variability: Effective across a wide temperature range from -500°F to +500°F.
  • Non-Sparking: Suitable for explosive environments due to non-sparking properties.
  • Machinability: Rated at 20% compared to free-machining brass, better than many stainless and nickel alloys.
  • Abrasive Wear Resistance: Offers good wear resistance due to complex oxide films.

C17200 BERYLLIUM COPPER-1

C17200 Beryllium Copper is an age-hardened alloy having developed higher strengths while maintaining acceptable levels of toughness for many industrial applications. The age-hardening response of this alloy depends on the factors of time, temperature, and cold work applied to the metal. Toughness, fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, etc., can be modified and controlled by either underaging or overaging during the precipitation hardening process of the alloy. Typical Uses Oil & Gas Directional Drilling Equipment, Pressure Housings, Flex Shafts, Wireline Tools, MWD & LWD Components, Bearings, Bushings, Valve Components, Pump Shafts, Connectors, Centralizers, Handling Tools, Interconnect Shafts & Housings, Split Rings, Poppet Housings, Mule Shoes, Fishneck Shafts, Bulkhead Retainers Aerospace Landing Gear Wheel & Brake Bushings, Aircraft Components, Cryogenics (Deep Space Applications) Automotive RWMA Tooling, Plastic Molds, Electronic Components, Engine Components (Racing), Valve Guides & Seats Electrical Contact Bridges, Clips, Spring Connectors, Current Carrying Navigational Instruments, Relay Parts, Electrical Switch and Relay Blades, Switch Parts, Fuse Clips Fasteners Bolts, Screws, Roll Pins, Retaining Rings, Washers, Fasteners, Other Industrial Flexible Metal Hose, Non Sparking Safety Tools, Shafts, Pump Parts, Rolling Mill Parts, Bearings, Bushings, Valve Seats, Valve Stems, Diaphragms, Housings for Instruments, Wear Plates on Heavy Equipment, Bellows, Welding Equipment, Electrochemical, Parts for valves and other components used in Cryogenic Applications, Sub Sea Housings, and Relay Stations Similar or Equivalent Specifications ASTM B-196 AMS 4533 AMS 4651 FEDERAL 00-C-530 AMS 4650 NBM Metals www.nbmmetals.com The Leading USA Manufacturer & Master Distributor of Brass, Bronze, & Copper Alloys
