Copper Cobalt Beryllium Plate C17500 TD04 (H) FAQs

Q1: What are the key material properties of Copper Cobalt Beryllium Plate C17500 TD04 (H)?

A1: Copper Cobalt Beryllium Plate C17500 TD04 (H) is an age-hardenable copper alloy combining moderate electrical and thermal conductivity with high strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and machinability. The presence of cobalt and beryllium contributes to increased hardness and anti-galling characteristics. This material also offers dimensional stability, making it suitable for demanding applications. The TD04 (H) temper ensures enhanced strength and favourable mechanical performance.

Q2: How can Copper Cobalt Beryllium Plate C17500 TD04 (H) be processed or fabricated?

A2: As it is an age-hardenable alloy, solution annealing at approximately 930–955°C, followed by rapid cooling, facilitates subsequent aging at 500–550°C. Machining is best performed with tungsten carbide tooling, though conventional techniques can be employed. Cold and hot working are both possible but require awareness of recommended temperature ranges. Welding presents challenges and often necessitates specialised filler metals or alternative joining methods.

Q3: Which quality standards and certifications apply to Copper Cobalt Beryllium Plate C17500 TD04 (H)?

A3: These plates typically comply with ASTM B441 and ASTM B534 specifications, which set chemical composition, mechanical properties, and testing parameters. Additionally, they may meet AMS 4533 or AMS 4590 standards for aerospace components, ensuring strict quality control. Manufacturers typically maintain third-party certifications such as ISO 9001 for quality management, and adhere to relevant beryllium-handling regulations to ensure workplace conditions and comply with health and safety standards.
