Product Overview
Beryllium Copper C17200 washers are high-performance spring washers, flat washers, and shims manufactured from copper-beryllium alloy conforming to UNS C17200 and ASTM B194. This alloy, containing 1.8-2.0% beryllium, is renowned for its exceptional combination of high strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, and non-magnetic properties. C17200 washers are precipitation-hardened to achieve tensile strengths up to 1380 MPa, making them ideal for demanding electrical, aerospace, and oilfield applications where both mechanical resilience and conductivity are critical.
These washers are specified for use in environments requiring spark resistance, galling resistance, and long-term dimensional stability under cyclic loading. Beryllium Copper C17200 washers are widely used in electrical contacts, circuit breakers, downhole tools, and precision instrumentation where stainless steel or phosphor bronze cannot meet the required fatigue or conductivity performance.
