Beryllium Copper (BeCu) is a high-performance alloy that has earned a reputation as one of the most versatile materials in modern engineering. By combining the mechanical strength of steel with the electrical and thermal conductivity of copper, it provides a unique balance that few other alloys can achieve. This rare combination allows beryllium copper to […]

Shims may be small, but they are essential components in engineering and maintenance. These thin spacers play a critical role in accuracy, safety, and efficiency of all kinds of equipment. By filling gaps and aligning parts, shims ensure machinery runs smoothly and structures remain stable. From automotive engines to aerospace assemblies, and from heavy industrial […]

There are numerous key aspects to consider when selecting the correct fasteners for a project. Even simple components like Stainless Steel Fasteners play a significant role in ensuring that structures and products last a long time and remain sturdy. Steel fasteners are known for their toughness, resistance to rust, and durability, making them indispensable in […]

By definition, pipe welding and pipeline welding are two independent techniques. Pipe welding is used to construct massive pipes within oil refineries and chemical plants. Meanwhile, pipeline welding aims to create a consistent, nationwide pipeline network that runs beneath highways and buildings. What is Pipeline Welding? Pipeline welding, also known as girth welding, is a […]

Flange fittings occasionally provide advantages to the piping system that traditional hydraulic fitting types do not, even in cases where flanges and/or flange fittings are the only viable alternative. In larger OD scenarios, flanges may often be linked to pipe (tube or hose) and component ports more easily than threaded fittings or adapters. Most importantly, […]

Traditional copper and Beryllium Copper share some characteristics. However, they differ in more ways than one might expect. For anything else, the number of various components in these two forms of copper is not consistent. And the mechanics can use them interchangeably. So, if you understand the difference between the two, you may select and […]

316 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel recognized for its high corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride conditions. It is the second most popular grade of stainless steel after 304, and it is commonly referred to as “marine grade” stainless steel due to its adaptability for use in saltwater environments. Aashish Metals manufactures and sells […]

Dissolving roughly 2% beryllium in copper can yield a variety of beryllium copper alloys. Beryllium copper alloy is the “king of elasticity” among copper alloys, with a strength that is roughly double that of other copper alloys. At the same time, beryllium copper alloy has high thermal and electrical conductivity, great processing performance, is nonmagnetic, […]

Beryllium copper is a lightweight, robust, and durable alloy that can withstand severe temperatures. It is widely employed in electrical and mechanical applications due to its good conductivity and machinability. However, beryllium copper can be poisonous if not handled properly, so use caution while working with this substance. What type of metal is Beryllium Copper? […]

As with so many things in the fastener business, the best answer to the question “What’s the difference between a bolt and a screw?” is “It depends on who you ask.” Most people have a basic understanding of what a screw and bolts are. However, there are so many different types of bolts and screws […]
