Description
C17200 Beryllium Copper Plate for Mold & Industrial Applications — High Strength, Fast Delivery
C17200 Beryllium Copper Plate is a precipitation-hardened copper alloy with 1.8–2.0% beryllium content, balancing stable mechanical strength and basic electrical conductivity. Founded in 1997, Dongguan Jiaye Dingsheng Precision Casting & Forging Co., Ltd. has over 25 years of professional production experience. We adopt full-process independent production from vacuum melting to final inspection. Age-hardened plates feature tensile strength up to 1,380 MPa and hardness of HRC 38–45, with electrical conductivity of 17–22% IACS. In-stock products ship in 3–5 days, and custom sizes with free precision cutting are supported.
What Is C17200 Beryllium Copper Plate?
Classified under UNS C17200 / CuBe2 / DIN 2.1247, C17200 is a commonly used beryllium copper alloy. Its mechanical performance is obtained via two-stage heat treatment, including solution annealing and precipitation age hardening.
After complete age hardening, the alloy achieves tensile strength of 1,170–1,380 MPa, exceeding the strength data of most common tool steels, while retaining copper’s conductivity and corrosion resistance. It fits long-term use in tooling, electronic and safety-related industrial scenarios. Available plate thickness ranges from 5mm to 200mm, width 100mm–1000mm, length up to 3000mm, with customized dimensions acceptable.

Key Material Characteristics
-
Balanced strength and conductivity: Matches the hardness of regular tool steel while maintaining stable electrical and thermal conductivity, suitable for scenarios requiring both structural stability and heat/electricity transmission.
-
Non-sparking & non-magnetic: Applies to ATEX-standard explosion-proof environments such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities and mining equipment, and adapts to sensitive electronic assembly production.
-
Stable machining performance: Annealed plates support conventional carbide tool processing; hardened plates can be machined with carbide tools and cooling liquid to meet precision processing needs.
-
Fine polish performance: Uniform fine grain structure reaches SPI A-1 mirror finish, meeting the processing requirements of optical and medical injection molds.
Quality Control Process
All C17200 Beryllium Copper Plate products undergo three-stage full inspection before delivery. Raw materials are tested via OES or XRF to verify alloy composition. Production temperature and rolling parameters are monitored steadily to ensure uniform grain structure and hardness. Final inspection covers hardness testing, tensile detection, conductivity verification, 100% ultrasonic flaw detection and dimensional calibration. Each batch is delivered with EN 10204 3.1 MTC certificates with complete product traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between annealed and age-hardened C17200 plate?
A1: Annealed plates are soft and easy for machining and forming. Age-hardened plates feature high hardness for formal use. Most clients machine first and then conduct aging treatment.
Q2: Is welding available for this beryllium copper plate?
A2: Welding is not recommended, as it may affect material mechanical properties and produce harmful fumes. Brazing and mechanical connection are more applicable.
Q3: What safety measures are needed during processing?
A3: Solid plates are safe to handle. Grinding and machining require professional PPE and dust filtration equipment to avoid inhalation of metal particles.
Q4: What size range is available for mold inserts?
A4: Plate thickness covers 5mm–200mm, with 20mm–100mm as the common specification for mold core and cavity inserts, supporting custom cutting.
Q5: Can I get test certificates for each order?
A5: Yes, every shipment is equipped with EN 10204 3.1 MTC certificates covering composition, hardness and conductivity data with complete batch traceability.
