C17510 Copper-Nickel-Beryllium Alloy Wire (CuNi2Be)

Download PDF

As a low beryllium alloy, C17510 resides at the lower strength end of the beryllium copper strength spectrum but in comparison has a substantial increase in electrical conductivity. The alloy processes and heat treats like all beryllium coppers and can also be provided in a (HM) “Mill Hardened” temper.
