Product Code : ME-BeCu-5N-SF
Beryllium copper wire is a type of metal wire 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 wire is known for its high strength, flexibility, and electrical 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 extruded into wire form, with the diameter of the wire depending on the application, ranging from thin wire for electrical connectors to thicker wire for springs and other components.

Typical Applications:
Beryllium copper wire 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 other industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, and medical systems. Its excellent mechanical properties make it ideal for use in springs, wire mesh, and other components that require high strength and flexibility.
It is important to note that beryllium is a toxic substance, and proper handling and safety precautions must be taken during the manufacturing and use of beryllium copper wire. Workers should be trained to handle the material safely, and suitable personal protective equipment should be used to minimize exposure to beryllium dust or fumes.
