Why Does Berillyum Copper, Alloy 25, Have the Highest Strength of Any Copper-Base Alloy?
Alloy 25, known by the UNS designations C17200 and C17300, is a distinctive age-hardening alloy that achieves the highest strength levels among copper-based alloys through a unique combination of alloying elements and heat treatment processes. This alloy primarily consists of copper (Cu) and beryllium (Be), with beryllium content typically in the range of 1.8 to…
