C17000 beryllium copper rod oxygen-free high hardness wear resistant

C17000 is a high-strength beryllium copper alloy, mainly composed of copper and beryllium. It achieves outstanding mechanical properties through precipitation hardening heat treatment. Its key feature is that it maintains excellent conductivity while possessing extremely high strength, hardness, and wear resistance. Additionally, this material also exhibits excellent fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and non-magnetism. In terms of shape, C17000 is typically supplied in various forms such as rods, wires, sheets, and tubes to meet different processing requirements. Among them, rods are widely used due to their good mechanical processing properties and comprehensive performance, and are extensively employed in manufacturing components that require both high strength and conductivity, such as springs, diaphragms, explosion-proof tools, and precision switches.

Material Characteristics of C17000 beryllium copper rod

The advantages ofC17000 beryllium copper rod stem from its multi-dimensional properties. In terms of mechanical performance，C17000 beryllium copper rod has a tensile strength comparable to that of steel (up to 1400 MPa), yet it is 30% lighter than steel， and is highly wear-resistant and fatigue-resistant， not deforming under repeated loading. In terms of electrical properties， the conductivity ofC17000 beryllium copper rod is approximately 20-25% of that of pure copper， much higher than that of other high-strength alloys， making it an efficient current carrier. It has excellent thermal stability， with stable performance within the temperature range of -200°C to 250°C， and excellent corrosion resistance， capable of resisting the erosion of seawater and chemicals. Additionally， it is easy to weld and machine， and its surface can be polished to a mirror-like finish.
