Description

Copper-cobalt-beryllium alloy UNS C17540 wire is a copper-beryllium alloy with high electrical and thermal conductivity. It has a moderate yield strength of up to 140 ksi and an electrical and thermal conductivity of 45 to 60 percent that of pure copper. Here are some other properties of copper-cobalt-beryllium alloy UNS C17540 wire: *Conductivity: About 50% IACS conductivity *Corrosion resistance: Good to excellent corrosion resistance *Workability: Excellent cold workability and good hot formability *Applications: Fuse clips, fasteners, springs, switch and relay parts, electrical conductors, and welding equipment UNS C17540 is a high-strength copper-nickel-beryllium alloy with good electrical and thermal conductivity. It has excellent corrosion and wear resistance. It is ideal for marine, oil and gas, and electrical applications. Here are some specifications for C17540: *Cu value includes Ag *Cu + Sum of Named Elements 99.5% min *Measured at room temperature, 68°F (20°C) *EN: CW103C *Mechanical Properties. Hardness. Tensile *Spot welding electrodes and seam welding discs for stainless steel, monel For rod and wire products, the most suitable temper is "cold worked". Beryllium is a grey metal that is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. It has excellent heat conductivity and good electrical insulation.
