C17200 Strip CuBe2.0 XHM HM XMHS Aging Treatment for Hard Springs
Plywood Package
Cube2--C17200 Beryllium Copper is the most commonly utilized
Copper Beryllium alloy and is notable for its highest strength and
hardness compared to commercial copper alloys. C17200 alloy
contains appr. 2% of beryllium and achieves its ultimate tensile
strength can exceed 200 ksi, while the hardness approaches Rockwell
C45.C17200 also exhibits exceptional resistance to stress
relaxation at elevated temperatures.
