Beryllium Copper Pipes is an age-hardening alloy which attains the highest strength of any copper base alloy. It may be age hardened after forming into springs, intricate forms or complex shapes. It has superb spring properties, corrosion resistance and stability as well as good conductivity and low creep. Beryllium Copper Pipes has excellent metalworking, forming and machining qualities. It has many specialized applications in tools for hazardous environments, musical instruments, precision measurement devices, bullets, and aerospace. Beryllium-containing alloys create an inhalation hazard during manufacturing due to their toxic properties.
Fabrication Properties of CLASS FOUR BERYLLIUM COPPER C17200 Alloy:
Machining - C17200 copper alloy has a machinability rate of 20%.
Welding - Butt welding, seam welding, spot welding, coated metal arc welding, gas-shielded arc welding, brazing and soldering are recommended for C17200 copper alloys.Oxyacetylene welding is not recommended for C17200.
Forging - For C17200 occurs at a temperature of 649 to 816 degrees Celsius.
Hot working - C17200 copper alloys have good hot working capabilities.
Cold working - C17200 copper alloys have excellent cold working properties.
Annealing - Is the process of heating metal or glass and allowing it to cool slowly. This process removes internal stresses and strengthens it. C17200 copper alloys are annealed at temperatures from 774 to 802 degrees Celsius
Other fabrication properties include drawing, drilling, blanking, forming and bending, tapping, and turning.
