Cube2--C17200 (CDA 172) Beryllium Copper is the most commonly utilized Copper
Beryllium alloy and is notable for its highest strength and
hardness compared to commercial copper alloys. C17200 alloy
contains appr. 2% of beryllium and achieves its ultimate tensile
strength can exceed 200 ksi, while the hardness approaches Rockwell
C45. Meanwhile, the electrical conductivity is a minimum of 22%
IACS in the fully aged condition.C17200 also exhibits exceptional
resistance to stress relaxation at elevated temperatures.
