Beryllium Copper (BeCu), also known as Copper Beryllium and Beryllium Bronze, is a copper alloy containing 0.5% to 3% beryllium and, on occasion, other alloying elements. Beryllium Copper exhibits high strength with non‐magnetic and spark‐free characteristics. It is used in applications including tools for hazardous environments, components of musical instruments, precision measuring devices, ball bearings and in aerospace engineering.
Beryllium Copper (BeCu) is a ductile, weldable and machinable alloy. It can be heat‐treated to improve its strength, durability and electrical conductivity. Beryllium Copper achieves a maximum strength of up to 1 400 MPa, the highest among copper alloys, and is employed for low-current contacts in battery and electrical connector applications.
Beryllium Copper (BeCu) is used in Measurement While Drilling (MWD) tools in directional drilling. A non‐magnetic alloy is required because magnetometers record the magnetic field data transmitted by the tool.
Because Beryllium Copper (BeCu) does not produce sparks, is physically tough and is non‐magnetic, it is used to manufacture tools that can be safely operated in environments containing explosive vapours and gases.
