CUBERYLLIUM® maintains an inventory of beryllium copper alloys, including beryllium copper strips, beryllium copper rods/bars, beryllium copper wires and so on.
The normal grades of beryllium copper alloy are C17200 and C17300, with high strength and moderate conductivity. C17200 & C17300 can be purchased in the solution annealed or cold worked tempers and can be easily formed or machined. A low-temperature heat treatment (600 degrees for 2-3 hours ) produces additional maximum strenght and hardness.
