Beryllium Copper Round Rod 1/4"-6" Diameter Wear-Resistant Alloy
Rods
Beryllium Copper Round Rods are engineered for industries requiring extreme wear resistance, high strength, and non-sparking properties. Manufactured from C17200/C17300 alloys (per ASTM B196) with diameters from 1/4" to 6", these rods deliver unparalleled performance in corrosive,
high-stress environments like oil rigs, aerospace systems, and
explosive atmospheres.
Key Advantages:
- Superior Wear Resistance: Hardness up to 42 HRC (heat-treated) for prolonged service life.
- High Strength: Tensile strength up to 1,400 MPa (C17200) outperforms stainless steel.
- Non-Sparking: Safe for explosive environments (ATEX/IECEx certified).
- Corrosion Resistance: Resists seawater, acids, and industrial chemicals (ASTM G48).
- Custom Sizes: Precision-machined to ±0.001" tolerance for CNC and EDM
applications.
- Global Compliance: Complies with ASTM B196, AMS 4533, and RoHS/REACH/ITAR standards.
