Beryllium Bronze C17510
UNS C17510
Description
Beryllium bronze C17510 is an alloy offering good strength and hardness characteristics coupled with conductivity in the range of 45-60 percent of copper with ultimate tensile and hardness properties. Its corrosion resistance is similar to that of pure copper. It resists corrosion in seawater, most organic solutions, nonoxidizing acids, and dilute alkalis. C17510 is primarily utilized in applications that require high thermal and electric conductivity.
