1751 Beryllium Copper Data

17510 (Class 3 copper) is a beryllium copper high copper alloy. Beryllium Coppers are available in ductile, heat treatable tempers and in mill hardened tempers. These alloys are used in a wide range of applications requiring very high strength and stiffness with good conductivity. C17510 has conductivity of about 50% IACS and moderate strength.

The wrought high copper alloys C16200-C19199 have designated copper contents between 96% and 99.3%. The thermal and electrical conductivities of the high copper alloys are quite high, approaching those of higher purity coppers. Corrosion resistance is generally as good or better than pure copper.

With a favorable combination of strength and conductivity, high copper alloys see a broad range of applications in electrical, electro-mechanical and electronic products. Density = 0.317 lb/in3 at 68 F
