| C17510 - Beryllium Copper mold alloys have hardnesses comparable to tool steel, but with superior thermal conductivity. Beryllium copper plate, block, bar and rounds -- upset forged and heat treated to multiple tempers -- are available in a choice of strength, hardness and thermal conductivity levels. C17510 Beryllium Copper is manufactured to provide a good strength with even better thermal conductivity than C17200. This copper alloy offers conductivity of 45 to 60 percent of pure copper while providing significant strength and hardness properties. This copper alloy is often used in the resistance welding industry. Information provided by IBC Advanced Alloys. |
