Under normal conditions, beryllium copper alloy does not release toxic substances and does not have obvious toxicity.

The basic characteristics of beryllium copper

Beryllium copper is a copper alloy containing a small amount of beryllium (usually 1-2%). Due to its high strength, good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, it is widely used in electronics, aerospace and other fields. However, many people are concerned about its safety: Is beryllium copper really toxic? The answer is: Solid beryllium copper is non-toxic, but attention should be paid to dust during processing. According to the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States, the concentration of inhalable beryllium dust in the air should be less than 0.2 μg/m³ (8-hour average).

Toxicity assessment of beryllium copper alloy

The beryllium content in beryllium bronze is not sufficient to cause toxicity.

According to existing research, the toxicity of beryllium copper alloy is relatively low. In daily use, it does not pose a significant threat to human health. This is because beryllium copper alloy has high chemical inertness and does not release harmful components over time.

The beryllium content in beryllium bronze is extremely low and cannot cause toxicity to the human body. In fact, the beryllium content in beryllium bronze is usually less than 1%, and during the manufacturing process, metals such as copper, tin, and beryllium undergo high-temperature treatment and smelting, effectively decomposing the beryllium element and preventing its release.
