C17200 Beryllium Copper for Friction Bushings in Landing Gear and Aerospace Mechanisms

NGK positions C17200 Beryllium Copper for friction bushings in landing gear and aerospace mechanisms. C17200, or CuBe2 / Berylco 25, is described by NGK as the reference beryllium copper alloy across strip, rod, wire and other forms. It reaches the highest mechanical strength and hardness of any copper alloy after age hardening while still offering good formability, fatigue strength and stress-relaxation resistance. C17200 is well suited where anti-galling, strength and fatigue resistance are all in play. That combination is exactly why these products appear in demanding designs instead of being left to cheaper alloys that would tap out early.
