Product Informance of CUBERYLLIUM® Company:
CUBERYLLIUM® manufactures copper beryllium in several distinct compositions.
These fall into two categories: alloys selected for high strength
(Alloys 172,173,170) and alloys selected for high conductivity
(Alloys 751,750,741). And Gost standard
QBe2,QBe1.9Ti(БрБ2;БрБНТ1.9) for Russia Market. Also Supply Master
alloy : CuBeryllium-200; CuBeryllium-275);CuBeryllium-350 and
Cuberyllium-400 to global factory.
Beryllium bronze has good comprehensive properties. Its mechanical
properties, namely strength, hardness, wear resistance and fatigue
resistance rank first among copper alloys. Its electrical
conductivity, heat conduction, non-magnetic, anti-sparking and
other properties cannot be compared with other copper materials. In
the solid solution and soft state, the strength and conductivity of
beryllium bronze are at the lowest value. After work hardening, the
strength is improved, but the conductivity is still the lowest.
After aging heat treatment, its strength and electrical
conductivity increase significantly.

Key Technology of Beryllium Copper(Heat treatment)
Heat treatment is the most important process for this alloy system.
While all copper alloys are hardenable by cold working, beryllium
copper is unique in being hardenable by a simple low temperature
thermal treatment. It involves two basic steps. The first is called
solution annealing and the second, precipitation or age hardening.
Solution Annealing
For the typical alloy CuBe2 (1.85- 2%) the alloy is heated between
720°C and 860°C. At this point the contained beryllium is
essentially “dissolved” in the copper matrix (alpha phase). By
rapidly quenching to room temperature this solid solution structure
is retained. The material at this stage is very soft and ductile
and can be readily cold worked by drawing, forming rolling, or cold
heading. The solution annealing operation is part of the process at
the mill and is not typically used by the customer. Temperature,
time at temperature, quench rate, grain size, and hardness are all
very critical parameters and are tightly controlled by Cuberyllium.
Age Hardening
Age hardening significantly enhances the material’s strength. This
reaction is generally carried out at temperatures between 260°C and
540°C depending on alloy and desired characteristics. This cycle
causes the dissolved beryllium to precipitate as a beryllium rich
(gamma) phase in the matrix and at the grain boundaries. It is the
formation of this precipitate which causes the large increase in
material strength. The level of mechanical properties attained is
determined by the temperature and time at temperature. It should be
recognized that beryllium copper has no room temperature aging
characteristics.
