Product Code : ME-BeCu-5N-Cu
Beryllium copper strip is a type of metal strip made from an alloy of copper and beryllium. The alloy typically contains around 0.5 to 3% beryllium by weight, which gives it unique properties that make it suitable for various applications.
Beryllium copper strip is known for its high strength, ductility, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. It also exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and fatigue, making it ideal for use in high-stress applications that require exceptional properties.
The alloy is produced by melting copper and adding beryllium to the melt. The resulting alloy is then cast into a desired shape and size, which can be in the form of a strip. The thickness of the strip can vary depending on the application, with the thickness typically ranging from 0.1mm to 3mm.
