C17200 Beryllium Copper for Spring Parts in Respirators and Oxygen Systems

NGK positions C17200 Beryllium Copper for spring parts in respirators and oxygen 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. Ignition resistance in oxygen-rich environments makes material choice rather serious. In short, it is aimed at components that must keep doing their job after heat, wear, vibration or repeated cycling have had their say.
