Description

Nickel Beryllium Copper UNS C17510 is a copper alloy that has moderate electrical conductivity and good mechanical strength. It's also known as CuNi2Be—C17510 (CDA 1751). Here are some properties of Nickel Beryllium Copper UNS C17510: *Nickel alloying addition: 1.40-2.20% *Beryllium content: 0.2% to 0.6% *Conductivity: 45-60 percent of copper *Tensile strength: Approaches 140 ksi *Hardness: Approaches RB 100 *Tensile strength at break: ≥ 607 MPa Nickel Beryllium Copper UNS C17510 is primarily used in applications that require high thermal or electrical conductivity. It's also used when a combination of good mechanical strength and moderate electrical and thermal conductivity is required. Other properties of Nickel Beryllium Copper UNS C17510 include: *Strength and hardness: Good strength and hardness characteristics, with ultimate tensile and hardness properties approaching 140 ksi and RB 100 respectively *Conductivity: Conductivity in the range of 45-60 percent of copper *Thermal conductivity: Superior thermal conductivity *Electrical and thermal conductivity: Moderate electrical and thermal conductivity *Hardness: Hardnesses comparable to tool steel *Tensile strength: Tensile strength at break of ≥ 90.0, ≥ 607 MPa, ≥ 621 MPa, and ≥ 648 MPa *Resistance to stress relaxation *Great reactivity to precipitation-hardening procedures UNS C17510 is used when a combination of very good mechanical strength along with moderate electrical and thermal conductivity is required. It is also resistant to stress relaxation and has great reactivity to precipitation-hardening procedures.
