C17200 Beryllium Copper for Wellhead and Drilling Hardware in Oil and Gas

NGK positions C17200 Beryllium Copper for wellhead and drilling hardware in oil and gas. 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. Oil and gas service values conductivity, corrosion resistance, non-magnetic behaviour and anti-galling performance. The result is a more credible material choice for teams trying to balance performance, durability and manufacturing efficiency.
