Description of Beryllium Copper Rods/Bars
Beryllium Copper (BeCu), also known as Copper-Beryllium and Beryllium Bronze, is one of the highest tensile strength copper alloys available today. Industrial-grade Beryllium Copper contains 0.2–0.4% beryllium. The alloy is non-magnetic and non-sparking. These properties support its use in a range of applications. Because Copper-Beryllium performs well with most metalworking and joining methods, specific configurations can be manufactured cost-effectively.
