Standards/specification
CuBe2, 2.1247 (DIN 17665 withdrawn, replaced by:)
CW101C (DIN EN 12163, DIN EN 12164, DIN EN 12420)
C17200 (ASTM B196, ASTM B194), RWMA Class 4
Material properties
Thermally treated beryllium copper alloy with extremely high hardness and strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent spring and fatigue properties, good corrosion resistance, and spark-free
Application examples
Molds, plastic mold construction, injection molds, mold cores, mold inserts, hot runner nozzles, jaws, holders, welding fixtures, electrodes for resistance and flash butt welding technology, non-magnetic components, non-sparking tools, high-strength and corrosion-resistant components in marine technology and aviation
Processing
In hardened condition, good machinability with carbide tools, spark erosion well possible
Due to the beryllium content, protective measures are required to avoid the occurrence of dusts/vapors. Process wet, ensure good cooling.
