Product Code : ME-BeCu-5N-Cu
Beryllium copper strip is a type of metal strip made from an alloy of copper and beryllium. The alloy typically contains around 0.5 to 3% beryllium by weight, which gives it unique properties that make it suitable for various applications.
Beryllium copper strip is known for its high strength, ductility, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. It also exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and fatigue, making it ideal for use in high-stress applications that require exceptional properties.
The alloy is produced by melting copper and adding beryllium to the melt. The resulting alloy is then cast into a desired shape and size, which can be in the form of a strip. The thickness of the strip can vary depending on the application, with the thickness typically ranging from 0.1mm to 3mm.

Typical Applications:
Beryllium copper strip is commonly used in electrical and electronic applications, such as connectors and switches, due to its high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is also used in a range of industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, and medical systems. Its unique properties make it an ideal material for springs, relays, connectors, contacts, and other critical components.
It is important to note that beryllium is a toxic substance, and proper handling and safety measures must be taken during the manufacturing and use of beryllium copper strips.
