FAQs

1. What are the main advantages of Beryllium Copper Rod/Bar?

Key benefits include:

High strength and hardness comparable to alloy steels after heat treatment

Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity

Good corrosion and wear resistance

Non-sparking and non-magnetic properties, ideal for hazardous environments

Superior machinability in both age-hardened and non-hardened conditions

2. What are common applications of BeCu Rod/Bar?

Beryllium Copper rods/bars are widely used in:

Electrical connectors, terminals, and contact springs

Precision tooling and moulds (plastic mould inserts, hot runner components)

Oil & gas drilling tools (non-sparking tools)

Medical and instrumentation parts

High-reliability electronic and communication devices

3. Are Beryllium Copper products safe to use?

Yes. Solid BeCu rods/bars are safe to handle and use.

However, precautions are necessary during machining, grinding, or welding, as airborne beryllium particles can be hazardous if inhaled. Proper ventilation, dust collection, and PPE should always be used. Finished products pose no health risk.
