Beryllium Sheet Metal

Beryllium copper combines high strength with non magnetic and non sparking.

Beryllium sheet metal.

The modulus of elasticity of beryllium is approximately 50 greater than that of steel. 4 is a block s group 2 period 2 element with an atomic weight of 9 012182. It is often selected by designers seeking high performance heat sinks and structural supports in military electronic and avionics systems and is well suited for satellite structures as a hot formed material. The beryllium atom has a radius of 112 pm and a van der waals radius of 153 pm.

Sr 200 which is a sheet beryllium metal manufactured by warm rolling billets of vacuum hot pressed block. Beryllium is a relatively rare. 17410 17460 and 17510 are also obtainable. 4977 is known for allowing excellent detail in your casting combined with high strength and an attractive color.

Beryllium copper combines high strength with non magnetic and non sparking qualities. Its physical properties of great strength to weight high melting point excellent thermal stability and conductivity reflectivity and transparency to x rays make it an essential material in the aerospace telecommunications information technology defense medical and nuclear industries. It has exceptional stiffness young s modulus 287 gpa and a melting point of 1287 c. The combination of this modulus and a relatively low.

The first of the two families c17200 and c17300 includes high strength with moderate conductivity while the second family c17500 and c17510. Mead metals carries alloy 172 beryllium copper in annealed quarter hard and half hard tempers from 0 003 to 0 060. Shanghai metal corporation is a leading beryllium copper sheet supplier and manufacturer. Beryllium copper becu also known as copper beryllium cube beryllium bronze and spring copper is a copper alloy with 0 5 3 beryllium and sometimes other elements.

The small ratio of beryllium to copper creates a family of high copper alloys with strength as high as alloy steel. The element beryllium is a grey metal that is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. Browse our beryllium copper stock items in alloy 172 annealed quarter and half hard tempers from 0 003 to 0 060. Full hard and mill hardened tempers are stocked on a limited basis.

Iarc lists beryllium as a known human carcinogen group 1 and notes that the work environment of workers involved in refining machining and producing beryllium metal was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer the greater excess was in workers hired before 1950 when exposures to beryllium in the work place. The commercial grades of beryllium copper contain 0 4 to 2 0 percent beryllium. Beryllium is a steel gray and hard metal that is brittle at room temperature and has a close packed hexagonal crystal structure.
