Beryllium Copper Bars

Beryllium copper alloy bars are a special and relatively small category of products; however, they are popular due to their characteristics, such as high strength and conductivity and high fatigue limit. These alloy bars contain a small amount of beryllium and are used in industries that demand high strength, fatigue, thermal and electrical conductivity of copper containing 0. 5% to 3% of beryllium. Beryllium copper alloy bars can be differentiated based on performance characteristics in high temperature and stress applications and are used extensively in aerospace, automotive, electronics and oil & gas industries. 

Advantages of Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars

These flexible Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars offer numerous benefits for various industrial applications.

• High Strength and Hardness: Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars exhibit high tensile strength and high hardness due to work hardening and they therefore well suited to application that demand high durability and resistance to deformation. 
•  Excellent Conductivity: These bars possess both acceptable electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity and hence are used in electrical connectors, contacts as well as heat transfer. 
•  Corrosion Resistance: Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars have excellent features in corrosion and high corrosion areas like marine as well as industries. 
•  Non-Sparking Properties: Since Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars do not produce sparks, they are suitable for use in regions whereby sparking can cause explosions for instance in regions such as oil and gas and mining and chemical industries. 
•  Fatigue Resistance: These bars also demonstrate high fatigue strength meaning that they contain the ability to manage cyclic stress, as found inappendTo aerospace and automotive industries. 
•  Dimensional Stability: Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars do not deform significantly when loads are applied or when temperature varies thus making it ideal for use in applications where precision is important. 
•  Wear Resistance: These bars offer enhanced wear and abrasion resistant thus increasing the operational life of parts being used i. e. in heavy machinery and tool industries. 
•  Machinability: Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars are relatively easy to machine and form the basis of highly complicated components. 

The Beryllium Copper Alloy Bars offer several advantages that make them suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
