Beryllium Copper Pressings

The addition of beryllium enhances copper’s natural properties by boosting tensile strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance while retaining good electrical conductivity. This balance makes the alloy suitable for environments requiring both mechanical durability and reliable performance, with properties that include:

• Superior Strength and Hardness: Beryllium copper pressings offer excellent tensile strength, enabling structural integrity under stress in demanding environments.
• High Electrical Conductivity: Beryllium copper provides good electrical conductivity, optimising performance in electrical connections while balancing mechanical strength.
• Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Beryllium copper’s corrosion resistance prolongs the lifespan of pressings in environments exposed to moisture and certain chemicals.
• Non-Sparking Properties: Beryllium copper reduces ignition risks in potentially explosive atmospheres; however, it is not entirely spark-proof.
• Ease of Machining and Fabrication: Beryllium copper offers good machinability, enabling intricate designs.
