Chung Metal distributes C17200 beryllium copper rods and bars, recognized as one of the strongest, age-hardening copper alloys with good electrical and fatigue properties. Our C17200 is processed with care, tested, and certified, featuring strict dimensional control and metallurgical integrity. Customers in high-reliability electronics, aerospace, tooling, and connectors rely upon our C17200 rods for applications where performance-critical properties like durability and conductivity must coexist.
C17200 has ~1.8–2.1% beryllium with trace cobalt, nickel, or related elements. Ultimate tensile strength in peak aged states may exceed ~1,300–1,500 MPa; yield strength frequently >1,100 MPa. Hardness is elevated (typically in the upper ranges of Rockwell or Brinell scale). Elongation is low in hardest tempers (often single-digit percent), although softer tempers have improved ductility. Electrical conductivity is lower in hardened forms (typically ~20–30% IACS, sometimes more so in softer states). Excellent dimensional stability, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance make it a best selection for challenging cycles.
