Alloy C17510

Alloy C17510,  BeCu sheet C17510,  Copper alloy C17510 bar

Alloy C17510 Beryllium Copper, also known as alloy No. 3 or alloy class 3 cooper, referred as the best spring copper. This alloy offers good strength, high thermal conductivity and hardness characteristics. UNS C17510 copper has high elasticity, wear resistance, fatigue resistance and heat resistance after quenching and tempering. C17510 alloy is heat treatable, easy to weld and excellent corrosion resistance in the atmosphere and seawater. LKALLOY is a leader in the industry of supplying ASTM B534 C17510 sheets and  ASTM B441 bars with various size and specifications.
