Copper beryllium, also known as beryllium bronze, is a copper alloy with 0.5—3% beryllium. Copper beryllium is the hardest and strongest of any copper alloy (UTS up to 1,400 MPa), in the fully heat treated and cold worked condition.
DetailsBeryllium Copper Product Specifications. Our beryllium copper meets ASTM B194 specifications and is ideal for an array of applications. Beryllium copper, commonly referred to as BeCu and Alloy 25, exhibits superb electrical and thermal conductivity. It is extremely ductile, and as such can be stamped into complex shapes with tight tolerances.
DetailsBeryllium Copper Alloy 20C, CDA 825, is our most popular offering in this category and contains 2% Beryllium, 0.5% Cobalt, and 0.25% Silicon. 20C Beryllium Copper (Belmont Product Code: 4977) is known for allowing excellent detail in your casting combined with …
DetailsBeryllium Copper Overview Copper beryllium alloys are used for their high strength and good electrical and thermal conductivities. There are two groups of copper beryllium alloys, high strength alloys and high conductivity alloys. The wrought high strength alloys contain 1.6 to 2.0% beryllium and approximately 0.3% cobalt.
DetailsThe copper beryllium alloys are produced from a master alloy of copper and beryllium, containing approximately 4 % of beryllium. The manufacturing process is as follows: 1) Chemical treatment of the ore (beryl), a double aluminium beryllium silicate, to produce a beryllium oxide.
DetailsRated RWMA Class 4, 172 beryllium copper is the strongest beryllium copper alloy that is also electrically conductive and extremely wear resistant. It's often used in inserts, die facings, and molds for plastic that need to withstand stress over repeated use.
DetailsThese 17510 beryllium copper rods are not only conductive, but also non-sparking and non-magnetic, making them suitable for mines, oil rigs, and navigational tools. Containing beryllium and nickel, this alloy is stronger and more rigid than pure copper, though not as conductive. These rods are conductive enough for electrical relays, probe pins, and test-socket and …
DetailsThe material for the copper beryllium rams were not measured experimentally and the properties were taken from the materials library built-in to COMSOL software. High temperature data were not needed, as the rams were water-cooled. 1.2.3.3 Electrical contacts. The contact between the parts should be quantified in order to run realistic simulations.
DetailsBeryllium copper is a good material selection for musical instruments like triangles, trumpets, bells, and tambourines because it gives consistent tones and resonance. It can withstand marine environments due to its biofouling properties combined with high strength.
DetailsIn contrast to being a popular material for non-sparking tools, Copper Beryllium is also used to make professional musical instruments. Both tambourines and triangles are traditionally made of Copper Beryllium. These percussion instruments emit consistent tone and resonance when made with Copper Beryllium, making it a popular material in high ...
DetailsBeryllium copper (BeCu), also known as copper beryllium (CuBe), beryllium bronze and spring copper, is a copper alloy with 0.5–3% beryllium and sometimes other elements. Beryllium copper combines high strength with non-magnetic and non-sparking qualities. It has excellent metalworking, forming and machining properties.It has many specialized applications …
DetailsSince berylium has very low threshold energy for neutron emission, it can be used as a neutron source in nuclear reactors. The Sb-Be source is based on (γ,n) reaction (i.e. it emits photoneutrons). Copper Copper is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity.
DetailsCopper beryllium offers many benefits, including the greatest strength of all copper-based alloys (up to 1,400 MPa / 200,000 psi), conductivity that maintains the flow of electrical and thermal energy, improved miniaturization that allows smaller parts and connectors that have high a repetitive cycle life and can be formed into complex shapes.
DetailsAs you can see, Beryllium Copper's characteristics make it the ideal material for a variety of industries and applications. Mead Metals carries Beryllium Copper in annealed, quarter hard, and half hard tempers from 0.003 to 0.060. Full hard and mill hardened tempers are stocked on a limited basis.

DetailsBeryllium copper is also a better conductor of heat and electricity. As noted above, beryllium copper won't spark, and this is another significant benefit the metal alloy has over steel. In potentially dangerous situations, beryllium …
DetailsBeryllium. Beryllium is a hard, grayish metal naturally found in mineral rocks, coal, soil, and volcanic dust. The commercial use of beryllium requires the use of appropriate dust control equipment and industrial controls at all times because of the toxicity of inhaled beryllium-containing dusts that can cause a chronic life-threatening allergic disease in some people …
