Description

Cobalt Beryllium Copper UNS C17500 is a copper alloy that has high electrical conductivity, hardness, and ductility. It also has moderate strength and resists softening at high temperatures. UNS C17500 is a lightly alloyed grade of copper that's formulated for primary forming into wrought products. The EN numeric designation for this material is CW104C, the UNS number is C17500, the EN chemical designation is CuCo2Be, and the British Standard (BS) designation is C112. UNS C17500 has the following properties: *Strength and hardness: Excellent strength and hardness characteristics *Electrical conductivity: High electrical conductivity *Corrosion resistance: Good to excellent corrosion resistance *Cold workability: Excellent cold workability *Hot formability: Good hot formability UNS C17500 has applications in: Fuse clips, Fasteners, Springs, Switches. UNS C17500 is compliant with REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) regulations. However, inclusions of copper-beryllium in the skin can cause beryllium sensitization. If skin reactions occur, consult a doctor.
