C17200 Beryllium Copper for Non-Sparking Parts in Hydrogen Handling Systems

NGK positions C17200 Beryllium Copper for non-sparking parts in hydrogen handling systems. 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. Hydrogen infrastructure benefits from a non-sparking alloy that still handles pressure and cold. The result is a more credible material choice for teams trying to balance performance, durability and manufacturing efficiency.
