| Heat Treatable, Alloy 25 (C17200 and C17300)
Alloy 25 is an age hardening alloy which attains the highest strength of any copper-base alloy. It may be age hardened after forming into springs, intricate forms or complex shapes. It has superb spring qualities, corrosion resistance and stability, as well as good conductivity and low creep |
Tempered, Alloy 25 (C17200)
This tempered material has been age hardened and cold drawn in our mill. No further heat treatment is necessary except for a possible light stress relief. It is sufficiently ductile to wind on its own diameter and can be formed into springs and most shapes. Tempered wire is most useful where the properties of Beryllium Copper are desired, but age hardening of finished parts is not practical. |
