The “King” of all high-strength Copper Alloys, this non-magnetic alloy offers the best of all worlds when it comes to engineering requirements. Strength, conductivity, ductility, corrosion resistance, machineability, and form-ability—all rival most any other alloy, Copper or otherwise.
Copper Beryllium Alloys, which get their strength from precipitation heat treating, are used in Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Marine, Electronics, Performance Racing, and Plastic Mold tooling—as well as any market where rigorous performance is required. Applications include large aircraft bearings and bushings, down hole drilling components, valve components, air bag sensors, fire suppression, welding equipment, computer connectors, shielding, springs, gears, plastic mold tooling and electrical switch relays.
