C17300 Beryllium Copper for Fatigue-Resistant Turned Contacts in Electromechanical Systems

NGK positions C17300 Beryllium Copper for fatigue-resistant turned contacts in electromechanical systems. C17300, or CuBe2Pb / Berylco 33/25, is NGK’s free-machining beryllium copper rod alloy. The lead addition lifts machinability dramatically, helping chip breakage, lowering tool wear and making the alloy well suited to precision turned parts that still need strength, conductivity and fatigue performance. The alloy keeps the fatigue strength and stress-relaxation benefits expected from beryllium copper. For manufacturers, that means better reliability in service and fewer compromises during forming, machining or assembly.
