Beryllium copper casting alloys are used to produce components that require their unique combination of physical and mechanical properties. Casting applications of beryllium copper casting alloys take advantage of the material's exceptional combination of high strength and hardness, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, and excellent reproduction of fine casting details.
High Strength Beryllium Copper Cast Alloys (20C, 165C, 21C, 245C and 275C)
These products have excellent thermal management properties and electrical conductivity. The alloy has good strength, as well as excellent wear, corrosion and material toughness properties. Highly conductive BeCu cast alloys are specially designed for applications requiring high electrical and/or thermal conductivity, i.e. resistance welded parts, subsea fiber optic cable housing parts. These specialized, relatively low percentage beryllium alloys provide thermal conductivity far superior to most aluminum, magnesium and steel alloys. Chemical Composition: High Conductivity Beryllium Copper Cast Alloy
Highly Conductive Copper-Beryllium Cast Alloys (3C, 10C and 14C)
These products offer mechanical strength and hardness values higher than many steel alloys, but have relatively excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. These 2.0% to 2.75% beryllium alloys (known as "golden" alloys because of their distinctive golden color) exhibit excellent wear resistance, material toughness, and anti-wear properties. High strength BeCu alloys are specified for applications requiring a combination of maximum strength, hardness and toughness. In challenging casting applications where precise reproduction of fine casting details is required, high strength beryllium copper and beryllium nickel alloys provide flow and castability unmatched by other structural alloy systems. |
