Product Overview
Beryllium Copper C17200 threaded rods are high-performance fasteners manufactured from a copper-beryllium alloy (UNS C17200) conforming to ASTM B196/B197. This alloy is renowned for its exceptional combination of high strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, and non-magnetic properties. Threaded rods made from C17200 are precipitation-hardened to achieve tensile strengths up to 1400 MPa, making them ideal for demanding applications where both mechanical performance and conductivity are critical.
Beryllium Copper C17200 threaded rods are widely specified in aerospace, oil & gas, marine, and electronic industries for their resistance to galling, corrosion, and stress relaxation at elevated temperatures. They are also non-sparking, making them suitable for hazardous environments where flammable gases or dust may be present.
