EN: CuNi2Be
UNS: C17510
Standards: ASTM B534
Quick Detail:
C17510 alloy is a precipitation-hardened beryllium-nickel copper alloy renowned for its exceptional balance of high strength, electrical/thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
Key Characteristics & Advantages:
Corrosion Resistance:excellent in seawater, freshwater, and atmospheric conditions (corrosion depth: 0.01–0.14 mm/year)35. Resists sulfuric acid (<80% concentration) but vulnerable to ammonia/nitric acid36.
Special Characteristics:Non-magnetic, spark-free on impact. Retains properties from cryogenic (−196°C) to elevated temperatures (300°C).
Machinability: 20–40% of free-cutting brass (requires carbide tools with cooling).
Formability/Weldability: Excellent cold/hot workability (e.g., forging, extrusion). Compatible with TIG, laser, electron beam, and brazing techniques
