Beryllium Copper Strips (Alloy 25)
Cube2--C17200 (CDA 172) Beryllium Copper is the most commonly utilized Copper Beryllium alloy and is notable for its highest strength and hardness compared to commercial copper alloys. C17200 alloy contains appr. 2% of beryllium and achieves its ultimate tensile strength can exceed 200 ksi, while the hardness approaches Rockwell C45. Meanwhile, the electrical conductivity is a minimum of 22% IACS in the fully aged condition. C17200 also exhibits exceptional resistance to stress relaxation at elevated temperatures.

C17200 strips typical application:
Being connectors, contact springs, switches, relays, diaphragms, friction wear parts, bushes & bearings, actuators, sub-sea components, MWD tooling, welding electrodes, plastic injection mould components & chill vents. Applications are diverse where there is a need for a combination of good conductivity, high strength, wear resistance, high fatigue strength, non magnetic & non sparking properties.
