The Special Advantages of Beryllium Copper in Castings
Castability
Beryllium copper can be melted and cast using conventional equipment.
Fluidity
Almost unbelievably fine, delicate castings are possible only with beryllium copper because of one property - FLUIDITY. Low surface tension and viscosity permit replication of intricate textures.
Strength
The high strength of beryllium copper is unsurpassed by any other copper alloy.
Machinability
Beryllium copper castings can be easily machined.
Thermal Conductivity
In molds for producing plastic parts, beryllium copper's thermal conductivity allows decreased dwell time and as much as 35% increased productivity.
Thermal Shock and Fatigue Resistance
Beryllium copper resists thermal shock and fatique where extreme, rapid heating and cooling cycles occur resulting in less maintenance and longer tool life.
Corrosion Resistance
Beryllium copper castings are much better than other copper alloys in corrosive environments. Applications requiring extended exposure to salt water are common.
Fabricability
Fabrication may be accomplished by conventional machining, CNC machining, E.D.M., soldering, or brazing.
Plating Characteristics
Conventional coatings, such as nickel, chrome, copper and gold are easily applied.
