C17200 beryllium
copper is produced by Melting of Beryllium Copper Master Alloy ingot
and high-purity copper ingot. The addition of beryllium to copper
produces an alloy exhibiting greater strength, stiffness and wear resistance
compared to ordinary copper. C17200 alloy also displays enhanced conductivity,
dimensional stability and spring properties essential for various applications.
