CuBe2 beryllium alloy, also known as C17200, CW101C, or 2.1247, exemplifies the remarkable beryllium copper properties that have made this alloy an invaluable asset in numerous industries. CuBe2 is a specific beryllium copper alloy known for its exceptional combination of properties.

One of the key features of CuBe2 is its outstanding strength. This beryllium copper alloy possesses high tensile strength, ensuring its ability to endure heavy loads and harsh conditions, which makes it a preferred material in industries like aerospace and automotive.

CuBe2 also boasts remarkable electrical conductivity, minimising energy loss in electrical components like connectors and switches. Its formability allows for easy fabrication into intricate designs, making it a versatile choice for custom-made components.

Both of these features make this copper-beryllium alloy exceptional in some applications, but the CuBe2 beryllium copper price is several times higher than that of ordinary copper.
