When it comes to beryllium copper, also known as C17200, there’s no other metal out there like it. This alloy has the capability to be annealed, forged then re-heat treated to over 40RC. It’s extremely hard, non-sparking and durable making it an ideal compound to fashion tools out of. It’s also nonmagnetic and isn’t pliable, making it easy to machine C17200 into a variety of different tools and components. Another thing that makes C17200 such a highly-sought metal compound is its high electrical and thermal conductivity. Beryllium copper alloy tools and components are age hardened or precipitation hardened to make them very high strength. When it comes to tools, although C17200 tools might be a bit more expensive, yet when spark-safety is a concern, the higher price is certainly worth it.
