Pouring Temperature: 1095-1175°C
Heat treatment required for max strength (Annealing): 870-900°C/water quench
Heat treatment required for max strength (Hardening): 870-900°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. Alloy 3C offers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, good strength & galling resistance, and accurate replication of component detail. Alloy 3C offers nearly 3 times the conductivity of the high strength alloys, twice the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys, and ten times that of steel.
