C17500 Beryllium Copper Manufacturer and Stockist
C17500 beryllium copper, also called UNS C17500 is one of the copper beryllium alloys which have a high tensile strength and good thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper beryllium alloys can be broadly divided into two major categories which include high conductivity alloys and high strength alloys.
Age hardening or precipitation hardening can be used to increase the tensile strength of C17500 beryllium copper by a factor of four. Wrought UNS C17500 alloys have a fine microstructure that is composed of twinned alpha copper grains with a fine dispersion of cobalt, nickel or cobalt-nickel beryllide particles. These properties render C17500 to be applicable in applications that involve good conductivity, high strength, stiffness, and durability. Aashish Metal and Alloys supplies this grade as part of its complete range of Beryllium Copper Products in various forms and sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
C17500: It is a nickel free beryllium copper alloy with a nominal composition of 0.5% Beryllium, 2.5% Cobalt and the remainder Copper. C17510 is a nickel-beryllium copper alloy whose nominal composition is 0.5% Beryllium, 2.5% Nickel, balance Copper.
BeCu is hard, whereas copper is soft. Copper is significantly less strong than beryllium copper. BeCu is arguably stronger when compared to other copper based alloys. Copper is normally applied as a decorative or aesthetic metal which increases the appearances of a product.
The average price of beryllium copper C71500 per kg depends on the way the product is displayed (either as a rod, sheet, tube or strip), size, temper, quantity, and market dynamics.
