Nickel Beryllium Copper Rod Description
Nickel Beryllium Copper Rod is a very hard heat treatable copper alloy with moderate electrical conductivity. This alloy is known for its unique combination of high strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, and good resistance to corrosion and wear. The addition of beryllium (typically around 0.2% to 2%) to the copper-nickel matrix significantly enhances the alloy mechanical properties through age hardening, while nickel improves its strength and corrosion resistance.
