Beryllium copper (C17200 & C17300) is an alloy that attains the highest strength of any copper base alloy. It may be age hardened after forming into springs, intricate forms, or complex shapes. It is valued for its , corrosion resistance, stability, conductivity, and low creep. beryllium copper is C17200 and C17300, which have been age-hardened and cold-dr. beryllium nickel or copper, can cause hardening of the alloy structural precipitation annealing treatment at low temperature. The copper beryllium alloys are produced from a master alloy of copper and beryllium, containing approximately 4 % of beryllium. The manufacturing process is as follows: [pdf]
Copper beryllium high strength alloys are less dense than conventional specialty coppers, often providing more pieces per pound of input material. Copper beryllium also has an elastic modulus 10 to 20 percent higher than other specialty copper alloys.
Copper beryllium’s physical and mechanical properties differ considerably from those of other copper alloys because of the nature and action of the alloying ele-ments, principally beryllium. Varying the beryllium content from about 0.15 to 2.0 weight percent pro-duces a variety of alloys with differing physical properties.
In words, the density (ρ) of a substance is the total mass (m) of that substance divided by the total volume (V) occupied by that substance. The standard SI unit is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). The Standard English unit is pounds mass per cubic foot (lbm/ft3). Density of Beryllium Copper is 8250 kg/m3.
The B14 (Copper-Nickel-Beryllium) exhibits a good conductivity which exceeds 45 % IACS (at 20°C = 3.6 μΩcm). For special tempers it can reach up to 60 % IACS (at 20°C = 2.9 μΩcm). The B8 achieves 65 %IACS. Generally speaking the corrosion resistance of copper beryllium is similar to that of other copper based alloys with high copper content.
Welding copper beryllium offers advantages over other structural alloys particularly those depending on cold work for strength. In copper beryllium, a welded joint can retain 90 percent or more of the base metal mechanical properties.
The thermal expansion coefficient of beryllium copper is independent of alloy content over the temperature range in which these alloys are used. The thermal expansion of beryllium copper closely matches that of steels including the stainless grades. This insures that beryllium copper and steel are compatible in the same assembly.

Jiangxi Copper (simplified Chinese: 江西铜业; traditional Chinese: 江西銅業) (SSE: 600362) is the largest copper producer in Mainland China. Its operations include copper mining, milling, smelting and refining to produce copper-related products, including pyrite concentrates, sulfuric acid and electrolytic gold and silver.
Jiangxi Copper also said it would invest 800 million yuan in another project to make 220,000 tonnes per year of copper rods and 600 million yuan in a joint venture to make 30,000 tonnes per year of cast materials. That brings the total investment across the three projects to 12.8 billion yuan ($1.98 billion).
Jiangxi Copper distributes its products in domestic markets, and exports to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia and Thailand, among others. During the year 2008, Jiangxi Copper increased approximately 6.09 million metric tons of copper, 145 metric tons of gold and 1,700 metric tons of silver in reserve.
