Description

Cobalt Beryllium Copper UNS C17500 is a copper alloy with a cobalt alloying addition of 2.40-2.70%. It has the following properties: *Corrosion resistance: Excellent corrosion resistance *Electrical conductivity: High electrical conductivity *Hardness: Hardness, ductility, and moderate strength *Thermal conductivity: Resistance to softening at elevated temperatures *Tensile strength: Ultimate tensile and hardness properties approaching 140 ksi and RB 100 respectively *IACS conductivity: About 50% IACS conductivity Cobalt Beryllium Copper UNS C17500 is primarily used in industry applications that require high thermal or electrical conductivity. It is also best for electrical and electronic applications. Cobalt Beryllium Copper UNS C17500 is available in mill hardened tempers and heat treatable and ductile tempers. Like many industrial materials, copper beryllium may present a health risk if handled improperly. The inhalation of dusts, fumes, or mists containing beryllium can cause a serious lung condition in some individuals.
