Description
C17200 Beryllium Copper (AMS 4535) is the most specified copper beryllium and is available at in both Solution and Precipitation Heat Treated tubing as well as Solution Heat Treated Rod and Bar. In its age hardened condition C17200 attains the highest strength and hardness of any commercial copper based alloy. The ultimate tensile strength can exceed 200 ksi and the hardness approaches Rockwell C45. This alloy is used in bearings and pivoting members for aircraft landing gear, bushings and washers for tri-cone drilling bits, pressure housings for magnetometers and other instruments, as well as resistance welding applications.
Other terms for this alloy are: Copper Beryllium Bar; ASTM B 643 Alloy 17200; Copper Beryllium Tube; AMS 4650; C 17200; AMS 4535; Alloy 25; SAE J463; ASTM B 196 Alloy 17200; CuBe2; BeCu
