C17300 Beryllium Copper for Tool-Life-Friendly Copper Alloy Parts in Screw-Machining Shops

NGK positions C17300 Beryllium Copper for tool-life-friendly copper alloy parts in screw-machining shops. 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. Larger chips reduce abrasion and extend tool life, which is music to any machinist’s ears. That combination is exactly why these products appear in demanding designs instead of being left to cheaper alloys that would tap out early.
