Pouring Temperature: 1010-1120°C
Heat treatment required for max strength (Annealing): 760-790°C/water quench
Heat treatment required for max strength (Hardening): 760-790°C/water quenchDescription: The unique combination of physical and mechanical properties of copper beryllium casting alloys provide a dynamic range of metallurgical alternatives to meet specific performance requirements. The inherent strength, hardness, conductivity, and castability of these materials make them ideal for applications which require a high performance engineered material solution. Advancements in component casting technology and proprietary material production technology pioneered by Brush Wellman have resulted in BrushCAST™ alloys being a cost effective design choice. BrushCAST™ high strength casting alloys provide peak strength and hardness greater than many steels, but with thermal conductivity similar to that of aluminum and up to five times that of steel. Additionally, these alloys offer good electrical conductivity, excellent wear and galling resistance, and the highest accuracy in replicating fine detail in cast components.
